Guys,

I have a 29' Travel Trailer that I will be towing this weekend. It will be about a 150 mile trip. The camper hasadry weight of 4890. We are only staying the weekend and won't be packing a whole lot in the camper. The question I have is do I need to put the towing tune in or just use the performance tune with tow/haul on? What are your experiences? Thanks in advance.

 

I just leave mine in the economy setting. The Two setting puts the shift points at a little higher RPM and you need to run super unleaded $$$$$$$$.$$. Try it one way in one setting and the other setting on the way home and see if you notice a difference. Post it up when your done and let us know how it went. Good Luck

 

in your superchips manual it says to not tow with te performance tune on cuz it could mess ur tranny up so i would go with the toweing setting for sure

 

Thanks guys...........I will put the towing program on before I go. I will let ya'll know how it goes after I get back. I am glad I asked before I towed the camper all the way toTalladega!

 

Yea, the biggest problem I see with towing with the performance setting really has nothing to do with the tranny or shift points, especially when used with tow/haul mode on the truck. It's more of an issue with the way advanced timing that the performance setting uses. I can foresee knocks and pings from hell when trying to tow a lot of weight, especially on hills. Over time, this could be a potential engine killer.
No brainer here, go with the tow tune, it's what it was designed for...
