He's right it would be better to turn the trq down a little. But I can't say anything cause I tow on TNT #9 Trq 3 or 4 through the hills of Colorado and its generally 12k+. Atleast I turn the pressure box off

I had the problem Bigdan had. I tow a 13k 5er and timing 4 was too much. Turned timing down to 2.
