Ready to stop farting around
OK, I have been farting around trying to get the TOWING power out of my truck without spending too much money.
You can see the mods I have in my sig. I like the power the truck makes with Smarty on #5, but I cannot tow (about 8-10k) in the hills (sierra nevadas) without really having to babysit the pyro guage, and always having to get out of the throttle. Other than that, the truck runs awesome, and pulls like a raped ape....it still falls off somewhat in the upper RPM range though.
Here is what I want:
To be able to tow with about the amount of power (or more) that I get from my truck with my current mods, and smarty on #5, but I do not want to have to worry about EGT's at all. I want to be able to pull a nice looooooong grade way up in the mountains with a 10K lb trailer and my foot in it, and not ever have to look at the pyro guage if I don't feel like it.
Is this possible? Lay it on me, I have a decent budget for this I want to do it right.
Thanks for the help,
whiskey
