SCT Xcal2

Had my eye on one of these bad boys for the last year but being retired and on fixed income just could not justify the cost...well Alex or 337F250 as you might know him as, made me a killer deal and I am excited about using it, also his tunes were exactly what I wanted and are for my Strategy. Any one use the heavy tow tune by Innovative, what about the brake. Is there any concern that it might cause a problem..I have had no problem with temps and don't want to cause any big problems..I pull a 16,000 lb 5th wheel and headed to some nice mtns in March...any info appreciated on the tunes..

Just keep an eye on your temp's, Tep. I've got an innovative tow tune that works great. It does make quite a bit of difference on driveability and braking. Take some time to adjust the transmission shifting pressure BEFORE you start towing with it to make sure it's what you want.

Does the xcal2 allow for manual adjusting pressure etc?
