Hey 271-Yes I did gain about 3 mpg. My programmer has 3 settings. A 32, 52, and 92 hp setting. I run the 52 hp setting. According to the paperwork the 52 hp setting builds its peak horsepower at 2100-2300 rpms. And that is right where my truck runs on the highway! The 92 hp setting doesn`t build its peak horses until 3000 rpms. Thats almost redline...!

Wow this is an old thread. I didn't like the way that the suburban towed so I purchased something a little more appropriate for the job; however, I sold it because somebody made me a killer offer on it so I don't have a tow vehicle at all right now but will purchase one in March/April.

Nice motor home Chad, is it a diesel? That will be really cool at Irvine Lake.

Nice truck James, What is next?

I now have a Hallett 270T that I tow with a Ford 7.3 Diesel Excursion. It does a good job. I just bought the Hallett about a month ago.

I am at home recovering from two back surgeries in the last 10 days. Things are getting better now. Hope to be on the water by February.

I think that there will be another Fountain in my future, but it may be a couple of years, my wife really likes the Hallett, it is very user friendly.
