I was going to post this in the Towing forum, then thought about the Engine forum or maybe the Performance form, but this one probably has more viewers. The other weekend I finally got to tow the 33 foot, 5th wheel toy hauler with a full load of race car, fuel jugs, water tank, etc. I installed the Edge with Attitude controller, AFE stage 2 intake and their 4 inch SS exhaust in July and this was the first test going over some large hills on I-15 from San Diego. I only had to use 3/4 throttle to stay at 65 up hill and exhaust temps evened at about 1150 degrees or so. I was using the "tow" setting and it sure made the climbs a bunch better! When I got to the track I used the Autoenginuity software I bought from ITP Diesel and the only codes thrown were for injector control pressure out of spec and cleared them easily. The truck is a 2000 Power Stroke Dually and rides like a dream, even with the trailer behind. Thanks for the help on the board as it is a huge help!

Congratsulations John. I have been over I-15 from San Diego through Chula Vista and that is a good grade.
