towing 6K with Juice

[ilovetrains]

SO I started out last week on vacation with the boat in tow, about 6K. I had the juice set to 2, towing. I noticed that the EGT's were climbing awful high for small hills and I was smoking a lot. I dropped it to 1 (mileage setting) and the EGT's came down and she stopped smoking. Still had plenty of power.



So question 1 is: does the Juice tow setting automatically crank the low boost fueling for heavy loads? Should I only use it on heavier loads?

You can adjust the low boost fueling individually for each of the five power settings. I don't remember what the factory setting was.

just replace your muffler. It won't get too hot anymore.

really?? My EGTs were getting up to 1200 pullin about 7000lbs

how is changing the muffler going to affect the fueling?

All of the presets come in the middle setting between lowest and most smoke (best accel). When I had the J/A, it didn't smoke in 2 when towing and only if I jumped it from a stop in 3 would it smoke when towing. I could hardly hit 1350 on long pulls at WOT on 2 or 1 when towing between 4000 and 7500lbs (boat or 4 place enclosed). 1200 is sorta warm but shouldn't get one too concerned.

less back pressure = lower egts to a certain point
