New M1078 owner, newbie question re: Transmission Shift Display

[ClassA6x6]

Just brought home a 1998 M1078. When I press D button on the shift control pad, 7 is displayed.

Is the display supposed to stay 7 all the time as I drive forward, regardless of upshifts and downshifts?

Thanks in advance.

That is correct. The display indicates the highest available range.

Welcome to the Outfit!

And by the way, since it is your new-to-you truck snap us up some pictures! You will be surprised what it looks like in a month or so as you do little projects. There are TM's (Technical Manuals) for that vehicle. The "Dash 10" (the book with a -10 at the end) is the "Operator's Guide for any military machine. In your case, it would tell you how to put the transmission / transfer case into low range.
