I sell my carbodies/farm iron between 140-160/ton in Greeley, Co. So each load for me is around 11-1300$ I stay on pavement but NEVER EVER hit the interstate unless im empty.

As far as my decel tune, i got it from Cale at BTS, but i really dont notice a difference at all. I know it works when its warming up idle'n. But I cant tell if its working when i turn the knob when going down a decent grade. The truck tows great and it probably helps i have all new brakes on my 39' triple axle flatbed.

Sorry to hi-jack this thread and make it about towing..not pulling at the fair.
