possible to alter tow/haul mode?

[tybardy]

As logic tells me, tow/haul mode is basicly a relay telling the trucks computer to use different shift points and such.... am i right so far?

Now... if that is in fact the case... would it be possible to have black bear do a tune in such a way that my normal driving mode (not tow/haul) would be relativly modest for every day driving and fuel savings and than alter the tow haul mode for somthing super aggresive for when i am having a pissed off sort of day :shy:

This would be great... almost seems like i could have the best of both worlds

Tow/haul is only for changing shift points, so we can only change the TM within shifts, pressure in shifts, and lock/unlock of torque converter.

hmmmmm.... and still more to think about... what are some of the creative things people are doing with the tow/haul mode portion of the tune (if any)

Most people are just asking for more aggressive shifts in the tow-haul mode. Depends on the type of driving you would like to do with it. DD or performance?

not only is it my DD but its my only ride these days, i couldnt afford to keep my Cadi and insure it and everything so all i have left is my 'hoe... so i am very torn as to what i should and should not do to it

I dont touch my tow haul button at all. My regular tune is quite a bit more aggressive than most peoples tunes. All depends on your preference!

yea i was hoping to use it like an "extra power" button i guess, kinda like those old late 80's toyota camrys had... lol

Yeah- you gotta put a decent amount on the engine to get one of these land yahts to burn out on the line!

Changing the shift points will make some significant changes in different powerbands.

to add more power to one of those, the button that was just pushed to turn the AC off...instant power.
