Custom Tuning Questions


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hey oh custom tuning gurus and fellow forum members of great knowledge. I am going with a custom tune not a matter of which one just when. Question I understand the tuning on the FLY like what justin does at a tuning session. My question is I am really wanting to get tuned for the towing of my big gooseneck trailer and tractors. I tend to have concerns about that engine load and detonation. Granted I do run quality (hopefully good quality) 93 gas. There is roughly 1900 pounds or more of pin weight on my truck. Not more then that I know. The only differences is how much clay or mud is caked up on the tractors. So here is my thought. Would it be beneficial to load the bed of my truck up with lead weight to the number of 1500 pounds or more when I get tuned. My thought is they could better tune it for the load thus being unloaded wouldn't matter. The PCM will produce more accurate numbers with that kind of weight on it. Is this crrect. I have some friends with pulling trucks that have enough weight to do this. I could put in one of there REMOVABLE weight boxes in the bed that way the tuner could see what the load is doing and how the computer is adjusting. Could the tuner maybe do things different with the iginition timing and fuel tables if they could see what the load is actually doing. Thoughts opinions ideas.
