Towing Tuned????
I'm going to be pulling my camper 9000lbs. And I took the programer off the truck and returned it to stock. My question is I have the custom tow tune and would it be benificial for me to run it or just leave it stock?

There are also lot hp tunes that do a very good job on trans tunes if you don't want a higher hp tune. Depending on where you get your tunes from, with any hp tune, the trans will be set to handle that certain hp level.

Now I'm not saying go out with a race tune and tow with that. That would be a big no-no, but a good custom tow tune can be very good. However, mpg is going to be all relative. I wouldn't go by what one person says that they get towing their 9k, because that doesn't mean that you'll get the same thing. As far as power goes, most people for a stock 6.0 usually don't push more then an extra 50hp over stock for a tow tune. You can actually change the tranny tuning and have it feel like your getting more power by how it tries to stay in the powerband longer(ie when using T/H mode, it always seems like it was more spunky with that engaged then running it normal).
