Tow Tune

[jumpman23302]

Tune ran fine and added a little bit more power over stock. Will some one view it and possibly give a little advise.

[jumpman23302]

Just want to know if I on the right track

[johnj]

For me I think a good tow tune is just turning off all the limiters and maybe a little bit of added fuel at 60mm and above. I like to use the cummins timing calculator you can find online that josh h made. It works really well for me. Rail pressure is way to high I would just use a stock table and smooth it out a little bit. What kind of hp are you after? What other mods are done other than dpf delete?

[jumpman23302]

Nothing other than the delete and csp5 switch.I would like to get as much as my stock parts cans safely provide.I am just using my truck as a guinea pis basically to learn the ins and outs of tuning.

[johnj]

Id be willing to share a tow tune with you tomorrow that ive had good luck with. Dont have my lap top with me tonight.

[jumpman23302]

Ok that would be great thank you.

[johnj]

No problem. I remember when I first started tuning all i wanted was a little help here and there. But it was hard to get sometimes.

I was wondering on the same for the towing part of the tune. did u adjust the vgt turbo any?

[johnj]

I never really mess with the turbo side. Unless going for max power with a stock turbo

[SASDakota]

Really? I usually do a little min/max adjustments just to get boost target closer to 30psi give or take depending on the needs. But I've always had boost/dp gauges to help with that.

[johnj]

Yea for just a tow tune i never really change it. If im doing a power tune i will. But i agee 100% these things need boost and back pressure gauges if your playing with any sort turbo tuning

[Scarface]

so u just change a few limiters to help with towing? or do u add a lil more fuel down low and clean up the timing

[johnj]

Shut off limiters and and clean up timing. Depends on how much power you want for a tow tune. You can add fuel from 60 mm and above if you want more power

[Scarface]

ok gotcha. I been working on a tow and mpg tunes. I got the power down to a point but the towing and mpg has been I thing right now.

[SASDakota]

mpg is the time consumer. Many different ways to go about it I have found. Especially CMD controllers, load calculating SOBs...

[Scarface]

that is what I have heard it is time consuming

Not looking at the tune, but a word of caution when adjusting the vgt. You can very easily over speed the turbo and break the shaft. Log drive pressure, it will help a bit.

Any chance I could get a look at that tow tune?

[johnj]

Give me your email and ill send it to ya

[08silvermegacab]

[08silvermegacab]

Is their a way to pm you ?

[johnj]

Yea just click my name.

[08silvermegacab]

I clicked your name but I don't see it, maybe it's because I am a member

[johnj]

Not sure if you have to have a certain number of posts before you can pm people

[08silvermegacab]

That's the problem, thanks

[johnj]

No problem

[08silvermegacab]

I see the other guys email on the first page, I try him and see if he'll past on the tune. Thanks

[johnj]

Sounds good
