Hi all, I have a 2004 Ram 2500 with "The Hemi" with 25,000 miles on it. I tow a 10000 lb ToyHauler. The fuel mileage sucks. Which programmer would help me best?
All I'm really worried about is power and mileage.
Thanks,

For what's available right now, nothing even comes close to the Superchips Flashpaq. It has a towing performance mode that really firms up the tranny shifts and adds a little power.
Gears will REALLY help your towing performance though, and of course, the better you can help it breath, the better you will tow.
Mods that will help you the most are - Tuner, Cat-back Exhaust, CAI. Then Gears. That's the standard bolt on package most of us start with.
For more extreme (and costly) mods - LT Headers & a good High Torque Cam like the Comp 260 or KRC 210...

Superchips is good but I may also recommend the Bully Dog tuner. It too has a tow program that does pretty much the same thing the SC one does. Yes, it has a performance tune as well. After that, as stated above, look into upgrading your gears.

I probably pull the ToyHauler around 6-8 times a year, about 200-300 miles each trip. It pulls it really good, hardly know it's back there.
