First RV tow with EcoD
Well it's not my first time but it is with the Eco-diesel. Was only about 30+ miles and all in the mountains around Knoxville Tn with some very step twisty grades. The travel trailer was a 25' weighin...

The engine brake worked great also and even worked empty when we were sight seeing in the Smokey Mountains National Forest! Thanks GDE this is a must have for anyone towing and even if you don't tow!

Thanks for the report. Definitely a nice combo.
IIRC GDE makes software that manages the turbo so you effectively have an exhaust brake?
Did you haul the trailer up & down Newfound Gap in Smokey Mtns NP? That's the main road through the park east-west. It's coming down the west slope of that road that's especially tricky with all the hairpin turns and that loop-de-loop.
Know somebody on another forum with an EcoD and a heavier trailer than yours. His first problem was rear end sag which he's fixing with air bags. Doesn't seem that concerned about exceeding his weight limits. But I think that GDE software might be a real help, agree?
