: Towing with my Predator

I have had my Predator for about 3 months now on my '06 LBZ 2WD CC SB. I installed the economy performance tune (65hp) from the beginning and have not touched it since.

I tow a couple times per month for a few hundred miles, and the load varies from 7,000lb to about 8,500lb max (maybe a bit less). That level of tune states only tow 8,000lbs or less. I don't want to keep loading and unloading tunes. Am I okay or should I load the "tow tune" and forget it?

Thoughts? thanks in advance- Keith

If you dont have guages, I'd stick with the 40 tune.

Yep. I talked to Predator and they said anything over 8000# with the 65hp tune would end up with too high of EGT's on fairly level ground. Add a hill or two and you could be in trouble. I run mine at 40hp because I often tow at the 10,000# limit of my hitch.

Thanks- I'll go back to 40hp. I appreciate it.
