I like others have been seriously looking at a 4:56 swap. Towing at 70 in OD the rpm are about 2100, I would love for that to be about 2450.

Does anyone know what gear you run in when you shift out of OD. feeling like 3rd to me but not sure. I use Mikes 93 oct tune since June and towing I am up 1.5 MPG on the lie o meter.

Getting 200 miles out of a tank towing is dream, I get about 230 empty.
To clarify, he would write the tune to lock out OD when you are in Tow Haul only. So if you don't use Tow Haul, the tranny will shift into OD like normal.

I'm saving my pennies to get my tuner.
