Default Superchips & RV Towing

Okay, Let's talk RV towing and SC user assigned Tranny shift schedules.

In order to share data it's prolly a good idea to have a common site to post our shift schedules and graphs. ANY RECOMMENDATIONS?

Also, TM settings. I can't really see how TM adjustments will make any difference in towing but you may have experienced an advantage so...post away.

Performance TOW settings: It appears to me that the only Tune settings recommended by SC are Stock, Tow and perhaps 87. Chime in if you think otherwise.

Additionally, when relating your tow experience, it would help if you identify your gear ratio, tire height, 2wd/4wd and cab configuration in your signature.

Thanks.

I've only towed with the SC once so far. 3.55 gears, 2wd, CC. It was set on the 87 tune. Hit the tow/haul button. Trailer is a double axle boat trailer weighing about 4750 lbs. It felt just like stock.

Next time I'm trying either the Tow tune or the 93 tune it's currently on.

I would set it on the tow tune and just leave the TM and shift schedules alone. Lowering the TM when towing sounds like a tranny disaster waiting to happen.
