60 tow and when you hit a steep grade drop it to 40 tow. EGTs are going to be your limiting factor, so get a free flowing intake and exhaust to help keep them in check.

i have the 6637 mod a straight pipe exhaust, but that really needs to go. i run a superchips tuner on the 80 horse tune while towing and have not hit the egt limit yet. how does the dp tuner work. is it a setup that i have a *** and can adjust on the fly or do i have to load it??

The F5 is only available with the push buttons now. We decided to stop making it with the **** due to to the ***** breaking off too easily.
