Tow / haul
At what weight should you engage the tow/haul on the column? If I'm towing 3000 pounds with a 60hp tow program is it needed to alter the OD?

1.5 tons won't make a material difference unless you are in steep hills. Just leave it off unless you notice the transmission shifting excessively.

Thanks. Was pretty much what I thought but wanted to make sure. Especially with some of the 6.0L nightmares I've read about.

Try it both ways. Use which ever one you like better. You won't hurt it either way.
