Compression Braking

[texan79&96]

i havent had much of a chanec to drive my bronco off road yet but i always use my 5spd in my f150 to slow me down really steep hills. will the 3 spd auto be of any help at all goin down steep desents? what shift kit/ coolers/temp gauges would yall recommend for the c6?

I never had much luck with them slowing me down much. They will work to an extent, but I don't think it will do what you want it too. I tore up a couple of auto trans. playing in the mud, for me they just don't take the punishment that a standard will! (I am biased though I prefer a standard any day)

When I'm off road and coming down a steep hill, I will put the transfer case in 4 Low and the tranny in low, this slows me down enough so that I don't ride the brakes. I have not had any problems with this hurting my tranny or my engine.
