Maybe it depends on what you are trying to save money and wear on...your brakes, your transmission, your engine or your fuel.  

 

I use my OD only on flat ground and slight downgrades where the speed isn't going to build up whenever I'm hauling, but I only have a 2H slant, pretty lightweight for my Dodge 2500.

From the first time someone showed me how to hook up my trailer and

drive it, they told me to always turn off overdrive.  In this
month/quarter's Hitch Up magazine it says in the fuel economy article:
"Use Overdrive.  Overdrive typically causes the engine speed to
decrease.  This saves fuel and reduces engine wear."  Which is right?
