I towed mulch with my 06 4.2 with 3.42 rear gears and i noticed it pulled a lot better when i left it in first and second for a lot longer than usual. I was just wondering if this is bad for the transmission since the converter doesn't lock in the first two gears.

Hello! My name is Anne. I just bought my first Trailblazer; a replacement for my '04 Dodge Ram. The Hemi was eating me out of house and home. My plan is to use the TB to pull my 2-horse trailer. I towed with it for the first time yesterday. It was a smooth ride, but killed my MPG, but that is...
