TEMPS: Downhill in a PT-42 Series 60/Allison
I guess my coach is in MODE OFF -- I've always noticed that it shifts more than I'd shift if I were doing it myself. I do set it to hold a gear when it gets into a gear-hunting situation on an up grade. And I've used the up-down arrows on many occasions as conditions dictated.
I'll have to experiment with the MODE ON ... now that I reflect on it, I remember the MODE button -- it was one of those things I intended to review in the manual once I got around to it -- and I guess I never got around to it... It sounds like MODE ON will make some of those relatively flat freeway stretches with the occasional overpass, etc. less shifty... FWIW, I've never had the jake come on while going up hill. The Jake is fully integrated into the system (when it is enabled) so it comes on whenever the coach is decelerating. I guess you must be taking your foot off the throttle -- that would trigger the Jake... I do get the jake kicking in (often unnecessarily) while in cruise while going down a very slight decline. Depending on the terrain, that's when I'll often disable the jake...
