I liked 2-2 when I had a comp box.
I sold it and now run the Catcher. Pulls the same, need to get my TST PM3 hooked up!!
Tow by the EGT's. Keep it under 1150 or 1200.

Personally, I turn it off when towing anything of any weight. I don't like the EGT's I get. I only use the Comp as a passing gear when towing. I've had as much as 22,000 behind me and haven't needed it to pull. I don't see any Upgrade to your auto tranny listed either, so that would be very short lived pulling with the Comp on.

Sheesh....that is no fun......I don't tow below level 3 - ever.....I'll back it down to level 3 if I have to but will usually stay on 4 or 5 if I can get away with it.

I have never had mine off 5x5 since I put it in. The most I haul on my trailer is 16,000 plus the trailer 5,600 so the total is 21,600.
