And now come the questions.
First of all Thanks a bunch, quick order and response to questions were great.
What I ordered was a 6 position with the following:
1-Whisper Mode
2-Stock
3-Fuel Sipper
4-25hp Heavy Tow
5-40hp Moderate Tow
6-65hp Standard Tow

The spec sheet shows:
1-Stock
2-Fuel Sipper
3-25hp Heavy Tow
4-40hp Moderate Tow
5-65hp Standard Tow

Can I get a clarification on this. It sound like position 2 is a little quieter (Whisper Mode) but it doesn't seem like a big difference. Is it possible that this position did not get put on?

Now concerning the different Tow modes. What is considered heavy, moderate and standard? What is the reason for less hp on a heavy tow? I will use the truck for pulling a 30ft 5th wheel almost exclusively. Unless I'm on the beach or just around the house.

So what would the best hp setting and will that vary if I am in mountains (Va and WVa) or in the flats like eastern Va and NC?

I did go for a quick spin and WOW the 65 hp really gets up and goes and I noticed the shift points changed quite a bit and the response on the shift was much smoother. Almost wanted me to hook up the camper just to see how it would run (gotta wait a couple more weeks though).

Lastly in the instructions it says that is is discouraged that you shift on the fly while under load. I understand that to mean whille towing, correct?

Thanks a bunch,
