I have a 4.61 HJ without the attitde monitor and I normally drive it around on level 2 or 3 for normal everyday driving. Since I have to shut it down to switch the setting could I set the tow haul to level 4 and have the extra power when I push the button. Wouldn't the higher pressure and shift points from the tow haul also be better for the 125 setting. I can't believe the difference between level 3 and level 4.
I was just curious, because you know there always comes a time when you want to make sure you can give it all you have on those special situations.

Yes, T/H can be set different than normal. It is nice to have the "power" on tap ....but remember your trans will not like the sudden jolt. Tap cells.......tap cells.

Tap cells? don't get it.
I don't plan to hit the button then stab the throttle, Just push it if I think I might need it (before I start getting on it, not using it like a nitrous button)

When I ran the same Juice without attitude I had mine setup the other way for a while. I ran it level 4 all the time and had T/H setup at level 2, that way I did not have to fool around changing setting when towing.
Then I went to level 4 on everything and just watched the EGT's, no problems with anything. My stock tranny held the HJ125 with no trouble but results do vary.

I run my HJ/AT on level 4 (125hp) all of the time with a stock tranny, and have yet to have any trouble. I do take it easy in 5th gear though, just in casehttp://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Approve.gif.
I have tried level 5 a few times but apparently the tranny doesn't like that because I see the Attitude back down up to 40%, so I'll let that level alone, until I get a visit from Trans go that ishttp://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Big Smile.gif.

I have it turned down hoping to get some better mileage (not working), reduce the smoke, and the throttle is a little touchy on level 4 but I sure like having all that power on tap.
