Help: Need a good safe tow tune

Wannabe EFILive Tuner
The one Im running currently gets a bit hot on long pulls up hills when Im pulling my 24' goosneck with a large cat skidder which weighs around 11K total. Im going to be heading to northern NM for an elk hunt and Ill be towing a 9K fifth wheel and a 20' enclosed trailer with a jeep, 4wheeler and all the other supplies needed for 5 guys out in the woods for two weeks. Should I modify my current tune or does someone have a nice safe tow tune for my stockish LBZ? Im finally getting my laptop back next week so I can start learning how to do all this stuff.:D

If you want to send me your current tune, I'll mellow it out a little for you and explain what was changed...

I run Guy's tow toon as well.

I tow about 10K lb fifth wheel rv and averaged 12-13 mpg with egts never above 1250 climbing mountains in NH and VT at 60 mph or better.

Much better on power & mileage than stock, but with stock egt's.

Of course - your results may vary.:D
