Triton V-10

What's a 5 star?

Thanks for the input. I went from a diesel class C to the V-10 in a class A Newmar 34 foot. The down shifting going up an over pass on the I is driving me crazy. I am going to buy a 5 Star and see what happens. Thanks again

The biggest difference is in the transmission shift points. It downshifts one gear at a time instead of going from O/D to 3rd gear.

6 months ago i puchased a very low mile (15,000) 32' Holiday Rambler Vacationer. One of the first purchases I made was the 5 star tune. My previous rv's had the Ford 460, so when we made our first long trip (3,000) to Pennsylvania and back, which covers a wide variety of conditions, I was very pleased. About 2/3 fewer downshifts going up inclines and made many in cruise. When it downshifted, it was one gear and I got to where I could tell which hills were going to result in a downshift and either tapped the brake to go over manually, or let it shift on it's own. Never had the 5k downshift others have spoken of with the v10. Very, very pleased with the 5 star as will as the v10.

Is anyone running the 5 Star tune in their V-10 and if so are you happy with it?

Yup. Mountains, hills and stop signs - makes a big difference. No noticable improvement in MPG on our 38 footer.
