Just towed 13k with SRL tune, no studs!
I think I just really screwed up. I have been running the SRL tune all winter. I hooked up to our fifth wheel at 13k pounds and towed it about 30 miles to the campground. It towed great. I don't have studs or a Pyrometer. The coolant level has never moved since I've owned it but it looks low right now. It is parked on a hill though.
This may have been a $5k mistake! I'm sick to my stomach!

I hardly ever"get on it". I pretty much baby it every where and run the tune for the mileage. But this is the first time I forgot to tune it back to"unlimited tow".

It's a 2006 with 130k miles. I deleted the egr cooler last year before heading to Yellowstone. I watch it like a hawk with torque pro and all the numbers have always looked good. Ficm never below 45v, delta always 5-8 psi, coolant Temps around 192 empty and around 200 towing. I did a coolant flush with Distilled water last year and installed a coolant filter.
I just put the truck level and there is some coolant in the degas tank but it looks lower than it was before. I will just watch it very close. We have several trips planned this summer

Just monitor it the next few days and you'll surely notice if it continues to drop.

Towing with a tune and no EGT gauge is silly. If you had a gauge and kept egt's below 1250 on climbs you wouldn't be worried right now. I tow on a regular basis on a 8k tune but watch the egts. My 5er is over 11k. Combined 20k+.
No worries monitoring EGTs and temps.
