do you guys with chips or programers always tow in the tow mode ? what damage can be done towinn in the higher settings if you watch your guages? my tow mode seems like stock power, thinkinn about tryinn my economy mode, seems the best. thanks.

I don't see what chip you are running in your sig. I have a special econ tow program in mine that is econ tow up to 2/3 throttle then transitions to perfortmance tow. EGTs run very reasonable, fuel mileage is improved over stock and power is much higher than stock./ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif My econ tow program dynos higher than my no load econ program. If your tow program isn't any more powerful than stock I question the quality of the programming. Towing in economy should be OK, especially if you watch your EGT.

that would be a good question for whoever you bought your chip from
i believe that there may be some slight changes in transmission programming as well as the obvious engine enhancements.
i think many of the tow modes are "safe" for those without gauges

Last time out, I towed (16' car hauler carrying a built Jeep) with my DP chip in 80 econ instead of 60 tow. The only "problem" I had was the boost shot up to 30 psi under heavy acceleration. My EGTs were very manageable and I didn't notice any significant change in tranny temps, which might have been indicative of excess slipage.

i have no prob hauling 16' enclosed trailer full of carpenter tools in 80 econ. egt only get high when going down the highway entrance ramp up to 70+. never hammered down with trailer in tow though
