What tow tune you running? I pull just under 12,000 now and get about 4KM Ltr if I'm not into it. That was going to PEI and back. Campkins RV Centre.

Jigger2020 03-02-2013 10:01 PM

The tow tune is 120 hp I THINK, I don't remember right now, my truck is not studded either

Yes I've been to Campkins to look around

That's pretty heavy for a tow tune. They are usually in the 65HP bracket. Do you have the Jake brake function as well?

Jigger2020 03-02-2013 10:12 PM

Where would I check my 3 custom tunes, I usually just leave it in SRL, (street race lite) I think that's 150 HP.........I don't think the Jake is set up because its not studded

dee004 03-02-2013 10:23 PM

You don't tow in SRL do you? Did Tony do your tunes? He would have given you a guide with regards to use with them.

The Jake function just closes off the vanes of the VGT turbo and provides a little back pressure, No where near as much as a real Jake brake but does add a little extra stopping power and saves your brakes. Studs not really needed to use it as it's minimal back pressure.

It was the guys at Gearhead, Matt I think, No I don't tow in the race tune........that's bad, lol

I have to get to bed, have a good night........things will be clear in the AM

Jigger2020 03-02-2013 10:34 PM

OK thx for the Jake info, I'll look into that

dee004 03-02-2013 10:35 PM

Good morning Ontario, Gerry, Don, John, Tim, Charlie, and all who stop in.

Greetings from sunny, North Carolina

Gerry -NASCAR related- was talking to my daughter about the Richard Childress Winery. She said she's been there, then showed me a picture of her and Richard. He is holding a big glass of red wine. He let them wander around the place. Quite impressive.
