Is it safe for a 1989 GMC Jimmy S-15 to tow a trailer in overdrive?
no!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Overdrive is not the 'gear' you should tow in. Once you have reached a cruising speed on the highway and plan to stay at that speed, O/D is then acceptable. Read the manual. POST: This is NOT the best vehicle for towing anyway. 2.8 or 4.3? It IS getting to be a bit old and has paid its dues so do not push it! Y-THINK-Y

Should you drive around town with the gear shift located in overdrive instead of drive?
when ur driving in the city it is adviced to put gears in drive rather than in overdrive position..the reason being overdrive is a system that allows your gears or drivetrain to use the lowest gears /ratio for fuel saving cruising, with it off , it holds to a higher gear ratio so you have more power and torque to tow or climb hills..but it prooves to be horrible while driving in the city..
Can you tow in overdrive with a 1996 K3500 automatic If so up to what weight?
That is not wise, Over-drive is a real high gear and by hauling and pulling loads can very well burn the over-drive clutches up in the transmission.
