U7131 - Towing with the performance tune installed.

[ranger_dog]

Hi, new to the site and just installed my performance tune. Love the fuel economy but being quite lazy, not thrilled that I will have to switch back and forth with the performance and tow tunes this summer when towing. I was talking to my guys at my local performance shop and they said that the reason there is a weight limit with the performance tune is under certain situations, you could create to much power or boost and damage components, but they also said that if I monitored the gauges and didn't push it to hard, there isn't a reason that I couldn't pull more, just that I would have to drive smart. So are they way off base or could I pull a 10-12K trailer over relatively flat Iowa ground and be safe if I watch the gauges and keep a light foot?

We generally recommend keeping the weight down to 8000lbs when using the performance tune, but as long as you monitor EGTs and they stay in a safe range, you should be fine on flat ground with a light foot.

Thanks
