Hi,
Just send my FICM out for repair/tune. Has anyone had trouble with high exhaust temps towing as warned with the Atlas 40 tune? I will be towing just shy of 8K lbs at times. My truck has stock exhaust, cat etc. I was toying with just removing the cat for a little better flow, I really don't care about exhaust systems for better tone, etc. I am concerned about high exhaust temps towing, because I don't monitor exhaust temps and I'm not looking to spend extra money on the truck when it is a secondary vehicle and used for recreation. I'd much rather put the money in my Mustang.

Go pay the like 270 for a 4in turbo back. Should cool it off. Or just monitor it.

Jerk the cat you'll be fine.

Ive towed 14k with mine and it didnt get hot

That's the answer I was looking for...................I always idle down my truck for at least 7 to 10 minutes after towing my RV, I'll get a CAT delete pipe.

This past weekend I pulled the camper (8k) with Vivian's tow/agg tune and Atlas80, EGT never went above 1100*.

LOL!! I was too lazy to switch over to the atlas 40, so said why not lets see how the atlas 80 pulls. I noticed no change between the two FICM tunes when towing.

I was wondering about that, since I pull my car 3 to5 times a year. car and trailer is about 5k. if there is no difference then why not run the atlas 80?

Vivian has really refined her tunes over the years, I don't have a ficm tune. But I can run my truck up over 100mph at wot on the looney wild making plenty of power and not even hit 1,200
