I daily drive on sw#5, im going to be towing a trailer around 10K lbs on sunday, should i detune to say sw#3 or just leave it. Ive towed about 6k-7k on sw5 no problems. Either way i'll be running stock torque management.

Tow according to your EGT guage. Run it as high as you can without topping out the temps. I have been running mine on settings that give me 60HP and the best fuel mileage.
