programmer question (not which is beter)

I've got a sct programmer and with the towing tune downloaded do you still have to push the tow/haul button?

it seems my jakebrake doesn't work as good with out the button in.

How much weight are you towing? Depending on who wrote the tune, the brake acts better with a heavier load. Probably why it acts better in your case with T/H engaged as that puts a little more load on the engine.

Do you mean TC? A locked TC also puts more load on an engine. I didn't realize that the turbo brake option was apart of the canned tunes that came with the SCT.
