It smoked way too much and the EGT's were a bit hot. Fuel milage went to crap as well. Just go in TOW or RACE mode. They are much better at towing and you will be a lot happier with the way your truck will like it. You can try it, but be prepared to switch in the middle of towing.

I would be very careful towing in anything but TOW, especially if you dont have any guages. You would be surprised how hot it can get even up some medium grade hills. What are the temps like where you are at? Here in TX mid to high 90's plus surface heat coming off the road!!!

After driving my truck to work this morning after loading the "Tow" program for the 1st time, I have to wonder why you would need any more than that! The roads were damp in spots, but on the dry pavement I could easily roast the tires. I had trouble on a wet freeway on-ramp, as it spun the tires even with a rolling start. Granted, I still have an open rearend, but it still is spinning 2 tires (DRW)!

Are you planning to re-create the Dodge commercial and race someone while towing? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif
