I will say one thing, in the city my truck is a dog less i keep the o.d. off lol
seems that when ya kick into it , it dogs seeming to drop to drive then decide if it wants to go lower or not.

With the 3.31 factory gears, OD was useless on anything but super-flat roads in my Expy.
With the 4.10s in there now, I can easily cruise up moderate grades in OD.

Sorry I'm in a smart-a** mood lol. Unfortunately I am no help to your question. Have a fantastic Mardi Gras
