How do you tow with a 6.0?

[GlennwaldSnowdenAssanged]

So some of you may know that I have an F450 with a 6.0.
I have a 42 foot fifth wheel that I want to tow.
The truck just got heads worked on and many new parts.


I have driven gasoline engines most of my life and do not want to harm this truck from poor driving principles.
I have an app called Forscan that is capable of monitoring the truck.


Constructive advice from people with experience would be appreciated.
If you know nothing about how to tow with a 6.0, or have no legitimate expertise with diesel towing, please refrain from commenting.


Thanks!

I'm assuming it's got an automatic transmission.

If so, there's really nothing you need to do, other than to keep it cool, keep it clean and keep it lubricated.

If it's a manual, do not "lug" the engine, especially pulling a heavy load, diesels have a more narrow power band, keep it in that range.
