It was tacky...not muddy, but not dry at all, there was no dust. I dunno, I am no pro, but 4hi, in D, roll out till the sled started to move then mashing it did pretty well. With less power you very well have to use 4 LO, or even build up a good bit of boost off the line. I would have boosted up of the line, but I really was not interested in breaking anything. Thats why I eased out till it started rolling.

I know the transmission functions differnt when in tow/haul mode

that being said, do I put it in tow/haul or not

Just try to not tear it up. That's the best outcome. Auto, 4hi roll on out there and let it pull.

Once you become a professional and have a trailer load of spare parts you can always try some other stuff.

We don't know what is on the truck other than Spartan tune.

If it is a stock 250 it's quite possible he could easily break something on the first pull. Especially with the high torque applied in 4 lo.

i run 275+ pulling with no problems.

Maybe his truck is not the same as yours. You do have a 350 and I can tell you that the rear suspension on my 250 is not setup for pulling like that. It can bounce pulling my 5th wheel too hard with stock tuning.
