Default Re: 1st Gen Tudnda, Overdrive while Towing 3500lbs?

You always want to use overdrive when you are towing/hauling any type of load. It basically changes your tranny from a 5 speed to a 4 speed if I'm not mistaken as well as changes the shifting points so that your transmission doesn't have to work as hard to tow the extra weight. So make sure your overdrive is off while towing a load.
