Tow settings

[soutthpaw]

I have a follow up question for ya Bill
I wanted to get some more clarification on which Standard tunes are setup for towing and are the shift points and other transmission setting already set for towing or do we need to tweak them with Minotaur? any recommended weight limits for each one of the following? Not sure if the 80hp is a tow tune or not
25hp,
40hp,
65hp,
80hp,
100hp, 120hp, & 140hp ( not for towing?)

:thanks:

DJ,

It breaks down like this:

• 25hp - Over 20,000 GCWR (all terrain)
• 40hp - 16,000 to 20,000 GCWR (all terrain)
• 65hp - 12,000 to 16,000 GCWR (all terrain), 16,000 to 20,000 GCWR (flat terrain)
• 80hp - 8,000 to 12,000 GCWR (all terrain), 12,000 to 16,000 GCWR (flat terrain)
• 100hp - 8,000 to 12,000 GCWR (flat terrain)
• 120hp - Not Recommended
• 140hp - Not Recommended

Keep in mind that files designated as "Tow" are designed specifically for the needs of towing (shift strategies, pressures, lockup, fuel curves, injection timing) while "Performance" programs are handled quite a bit differently.

Hope that helps.

So are the files I am getting with the 7.3 Minotaur package TOW or Performance or do you include both.
Oh we better mention that GVWR it the weight of the Tow vehicle anod trailer combined so not to confuse folks who read this later. on average a CC Diesel Ford is about 7500lbs by itself.
