Man I know what you mean. I hit a campground back in March. Got there at about 11:00...backing into my spot in the pitch black, my engine was inches away from someone's bedroom. Not much you can do...cept wake them up.

Are you able to tow a trailer/boat on this tune, if so what would be the max lb?

Yeah, I tried to drive in it, and it doesn't do to well, just good for going through a drive through w/no load (trailer). If you give it any decent amount of pedal it blows white smoke. It's still a great tune, nowadays when I pull up to my neighbors house, instead of shutting down, I can just leave it in drive thru and talk normal. It does burn very rich though!

Got my dp tuner yesterday and had a blast. install took about an hr maybe an hr and a 1/2 but i had to take it apart again and clean the contacts. I can't belive that my trucks changed this much and i cant stop ginnin 
. Big thanks to Jody and Diane it got here and was a simple install because of the directions. first time i hit the gas a big cloud of smoke came out and then we took off, to much fun. The only regret i have is not being closer to get live tuning, that and not being closer so we would be on the same time that 3 hrs does make a difference, Jody thanks for the early wake up i had to get to grad ceremony practice 
Oh and i havent run it on 140a for a while yet. a 1/3 throttle sent me off and then i got yelled at by a store owner because diesel is bad for the health?
and i think the drive thru tune is pretty neat, i havent used it fully yet but it is a touch quieter than the 4" turbo back thats on the truck, i cant remeber how quiet stock is.

I just have a straight pipe on my truck and it is a hair bit quieter then stock but not a massive difference. Congrats on the new tuner Taylor I wish I could have had my truck when I graduated!
