anyone actually use the ect button?
In playing with my truck i realized it had an ect button. I know it just holds revs longer and is a lil quicker to downshift.
Is there any other reason/ benefit of using it? also anyone played with it and have an idea of mpg diff?

I have to use mine quite frequently, as my tired 3.0 has at least a stuck valve or two, missing or worn valve guides, possibly some busted rings, and a host of other issues. Pushing the ect button allows me to maintain at least 50mph on a hill, or to be able to pass the "blue hair" in front of me that is only doing 53mph, and brakes everytime an oncoming car passes!
