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.

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

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.

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.
