Message: [QUOTE="LakeBum, post: 1490689, member: 29126"] Towing Update: Took the family camping this weekend, towed the 5th wheel (I figured loaded it was 10K+). Pretty much could do what I wanted. Most of the hour trip to the lake was back county roads with 60 MPH speed limits. I locked out OD and gave it hell. On the flats at 55-60 it ran around 7-10 pounds of boost and 8-900 degrees. Pulling inclines (hate to say hills in Texas) boost would climb to 12.5-15 pounds and I would have to start backing out of it.....:shocked: because the truck kept accelerating up the hills! EGTs stuck right around the 900-1000 degree mark. Didnt matter if I pushed the go peddle to 25 pounds or 20 pounds or left it in Grandpa tow at 12.5-15 pounds. I tow like Grandpa BTW I think the EGT gauge can go bye bye. From the start, I never felt I had a power issue, I had a 'flow' issue and the BW flat out preforms. I did notice I appeared to use a bit less fuel then normal. Also keep in mind this is with 35's and 40-65 HP tunes (not 'heavy tow tunes'). There was one small section that called for 70MPH and I was able to run 4th no problem. Lastly, I did make a trip last week to town and jumping on the free way laid in the go peddle and touched 33 pounds of boost before I had to back out of it due a slow car. [/QUOTE]
