What other tunes are on the TS chip mentioned? Are any of those lower HP, possibly “tow” tunes?

If not, I’d start with contacting TW, 1023 Diesel or Swamps and see about purchasing a custom tow tune for your setup. That 468 turbo maybe the one thing you need to downsize and change out.

i did some reading on the turbo, seems more like a "race turbo"
there is a fuel economy tune i heard. he uses it almost all the time including pulling a 28 ft travel trailer. i am concerned with the turbo to injector ratio

You might like the setup. A good tow tune a you’ll be happy

Plwnty of guys have towed with the 468. I agree try some custom towing tunes first before you change anything.

A diesel is not like a gasser, the tune you choose will decide the power available. Tony makes some of the safest tunes in the worls.

That turbo and injector combo will work just fine, no need to change it out. As stated above, a good tune and you'll be good to go. The 468 is very responsive and tows very nice. I loved the 468, would spool lightning fast and pulled like a train.

I love the 468 in.my combo. It tows great. What gear ratio and tire height are you running? If it's got 3.55 and a tall tire it might not be as good as 4.10 depending on elevation and actual towing speen.

I also have the 468. It tows great, no complaints.

Wow I am impressed ! Drove it home 3.5 hours at 20mpg torque and power are incredible and when the turbo goes and your foot is in it breaks traction and wheel hops in third gear . Hell got it might as well try it can’t wait to hook up my log trailer . Truck has 373s in it and stock tires . Which reminds me it has stock rims what is the largest tire I can fit?it has two leafs up front and are new no lift 7.5 wide rim I think?
