alright. tow tune shifting is just like stock. I'm in 4th gear before 25 mph...checked to make sure my shift schedule was still in there, and it was. I just wonder, if you change a tune (go from 87 to 91 or to tow) do you have to re-save and reload the user shift schedule? I checked it and it was still set to user for tm and shift schedule but it shifted nothing like when in 87 tune. put it back to 87 tune and had my shift schedule back. I can tell right away because my shift schedule holds 1st gear until I'm going about 25 if I barely on it.

When was the last time you updated your tuner? The last update should have fixed the note that the tow tune needs 91 oct

I am pretty sure mine states this too.
So you guys are running 87 octane on the tow tune with no issues? I have been contemplating detuning to the 87 tune with these gas prices, but I like how this tune. The gas prices are getting recockulous!
