I am used to drivin my old 84 pickup, well i recently bought a 93 xtra cab with the 3vze. One question what exactly is the ECT power switch for, and what function does it serve?

 

Is it an automatic transmission?

I did a quick google search on ECT and it sounds like it's a toggle switch on your transmission shifter area that allows you to hold a gear longer before shifting. Basically allows longer acceleration periods by holding gears longer before shifting - uses more gas but is better for hills, etc.

 

thanks, looked it up but here at work most stuff wont pull up. yeah it is an automatic. no rust at all on the truck 150,000 miles, and the guy never had it in the mud, was just wondering

 

Not to hijack thread, but then what does the overdrive on/off button do?

 

Overdrive button lets u get into 4th gear with it off u only make it to 3rd gear
