Vadim,
I would suggest you download and review these two Operator Manuals for your 1976 GMC as they were written by the guys that built the
vehicle and it is reasonable to assume they knew how to operate them. :-)
Select the appropriate manual depending on the VIN number of your Glenbrook:
Up to TZE166V100877:

TZE166V100878 and later:

Subject: Re: [GMCnet] Power Drive
I'm really glad I posted this question here. All your replies and personal experiences have significantly calmed my anxiety about
running the engine at what I perceived were high RPMs. I've read some additional threads on the forum with people towing fairly
heavy trailers with the same setup as I have and traveling at highway speed limits without any issue for the engine and
transmission. I feel much better now. Thank you all :)
Here is a follow up question (let me know if I need to start a new thread for this): from the point of view of transmission, what is
the best way to tackle hills on the road? In the area where I live, we have significant grades on nearly all our roads. We've got
multiple grades of 3-4% in any direction we get going and some very steep grades of 6-7%. I've read that its best to slow down and
downshift to "S" gear for tackling the grades. Should this be done on all climbs or just on those very hard 6-7% grades? What about
driving in town (again lots of hills, but driving at 25-35 MPH)?
