This is gonna sound stupid so don’t make fun! Lol. Got my vet up and running and I wanna make sure… what gear do I drive it in? ( it’s the automatic so there’s only 1st, 2nd, 3rd no “drive” I’m assuming it’s going to be mostly 3rd?? But I don’t wanna ruin anything. Thanks

Welcome Coy, Pretty sure your owners manual would explain that. Don't have one? You can purchase them on line. Also if you're going to do your maintenance, suggest you purchase the Assembly Instruction Manual (AIM) and the service manual for your specific year. Do not go with the Haynes. Post some pics, let see it.
