Hey Guys!! Quick question. I know you are not suppose to tow on anything but your tow tune but I am hopefully picking up my boat on Friday and wanted to see if it was ok to tow 30 miles on the 87 Performance. The boat is a 20 foot boat and weighs probably about 4500 lbs. Would it really hurt towing it that short of a distance on the tune. I just filled up and I know I wont burn enough gas to get to the 93 octane to be able to run the 93towing tune...

 

It's instances like this when a 87 tow tune comes in handy. Since you don't have a 3.5 AF1 you can always return to the stock tune to tow. That should do the trick. This is why I have an 87 tow tune always on the tuner just in case.

 

Alright..... Towing on the 87 Performance is a no go than???

 

I think most would advise against it...

While I agree that it's a short distance and really not that beefy of a load, I'd err on the cautious side.

 

Alright!!! Maybe I will just use Brew's truck to tow it back. He runs 93 Performance all the time, so I can change it to 93 tow and will be good to go... hahaha...

Hey Brett.... How have you been??? Long time no talk. Tom and I are hopefully going out to Missouri around June 15th to see Zach... You should make your way down to say hello...

 

Who is Brett? Brad?

 

My bad Brad.... I was just talking to one of my students named Brett and was looking at him when I typed it. I am sorry about that Brad.... What have you been up to....

 

I'd say just tow it, especially for that short of a distance. I'd tow anything with my Edge on the 93 setting with the timing bumped up in the F-150. And I'm sure RP will come out as long as we don't go to Johnny's. That is, unless we need a refresher course on how to operate a light switch.

 

I may be due for a refresher by that point in time... of course, the baby on the way might be the wildcard on whether or not I have to attend class at the University of Technology and Underwater Basketweaving Missouri-Rolla campus or if I attend at Podunk Univershiittey - Kentucky.

 

It's fine. We'll let it go this once.... I'm typically not this nice of a guy -- trust me, I've been called worse (ask Marc Carpenter -- Marc still needs a Bubba Keg).

The next time, I change your username to DancingFairy-F150

 

I think he'd like that actually...

 

LMAO.... How is everything going with you???


Zach I think you would prefer that name. Or WifeWaxesTheTruck

Having your wife do the waxing on your truck because ur to lazy, and to much of a bum...

 

Haha... I'm not the lazy one here.. Her nickname should be Sleeping Beauty. And last time I checked, my truck has been waxed more times in the past month than your truck has been waxed since you've owned it...

 

LOL..... Thats because I dont have a woman doing it for me and I am waiting to paint the tonneau cover before I wax it.... I did use the spray on stuff but it really needs a wax job bad... Maybe Tom will do it for me....
