  1. nice lookin ride.....5x4s take a lotta practice thiers 2 gears you need to skip in full shift sequence cant remember wich 2.off hand....but as you go along especially when empty you will find out you can skip quite a few,,,,no lugging is mainly important when your heavy and gearing up.such as long pulling grade dont do it......rottella is perfect or delo 400....reduction switch generally turns off steer brakes......engine brakes depending on grade and weight usually dont hold well in high gears.....usually 3rd range is around the spot....yes turn on top of hill turn off bottom of hill real important.....magor engine damage if you forget and release clutch at an idle....good luck hope this helps you ....have a ball with it.....bob
