IMHO you should be in the gear going down hill that you would be in going up the same hill!

We have a 2021 7.3 v8 fleetwood bounder 33c. Does anyone have info on shifting when going down hill and up hill. Other than the Ford manual?


That is a great general rule of thumb. And a safe approach for nearly any combination of vehicle and driver, although somewhat outdated with newer transmissions with good shifting strategies and diesels being what they are now.
