smarty while towing
I have just recently bought a smarty for my truck. so far I have only put it on the 60hp setting with added timing. I tow a 20ft. cattle trailer that useally wieght 14,000lb.
I wanted to know if I can tow with the setting with added timing or should I go for the one without it?

Bob,
Do you see any problem towing on level 9, if you have gauges and keep the EGTs under a certain point? And what is that point? 1100? 1200? 1300? Thanks for your help!

Dodgemaniac, I have a Smarty in my '05 Ram and I've had it turned up as far as 5 without any issues empty. The highest temps I saw were on setting 3 going up a hill and it was only around 800, but then again it's empty so I'm sure with a loaded cattle trailer it may climb a little more. Where are you from in Western PA as I'm near New Castle.
