Guys,

I have yet to tow anything with my truck yet but today should be the first. I am running HemiFevers 89 tune and would like to ask you guys:

When towing, do you change your Hemifever or canned tune to a tow tune? Also do you engage the trucks Tow/Haul button?

For reference, I'll be towing my dads 18' Skout Dargel boat.

don't see a need to. if you have a hemifever tune that's gonna be the most power available.

if anything engage the tow/haul mode.

I asked Sean specifically about this.
He said if I run his 89 custom tune, it would be safe for towing as well.

I tried to email Sean but for some odd reason my email wasn't delivered. I went ahead and towed with the Hemifever 89 tune and engaged the Tow/Haul mode. Truck felt really good on the way over, but on the way home felt like it was working harder than it should be at some points. Overall I was very comfortable with it, didn't catch a single fish but it was fun. Thanks for the input guys
