X2 on your response Tom. I did the same thing with my first gen tundra when i had it.
The TC does lockup too quick with OD off. Therefore, i always tried to use OD off most of the time so when i came to a hill and needed more power, i would just push the button and bing.....another 300 rpm's and a little more power.
Our trailer was a 23' 99 Terry weighing 4000 lbs empty. With this trailer i would need to be in OD off mode most of the time.
All i can say to the OP is; BE SURE TO SERVICE IT FREQUENTLY!!! Even a simple drain and refill every oil change would be a good practice. And if it's never been done at all, i would do a complete service on it.
