stock boost output.
searching for a couple days and I seem to get mixed answers. What is the stock boost output for the 06? I am getting 22psi at WOT. Others on the board are reporting anywhere from 25 to 30. I am merely going by the gauge on the dash while I await my scangauge II arrival.

I can hit 28 constantly with my EV2 doing the reading. I have seen 31 a couple of times while pulling the 5th wheel through the Ozarks...but it didn't last very long (about 5-10 seconds). My truck is about as stock as they get. No performance mods...just monitoring equipment.

I need to have the 5th wheel hooked up to get approx. 28. About 25 empty. The boost gauge I feel, factory, is fairly accurate but ambiguous because of the gauge spread. If I was getting 30 or above I would have head gasket concerns. JMHO.

yeah I mean I would rather be underboosting than overboosting that is for sure. I have a faint exhaust smell with the heater on every once in a while and I am wondering if I am starting to have a slight leak at the up pipe. Would explain the slight underboost and the odor.

I was NOT thrilled when I seen the truck do that. The truck also got the exhaust up to 1475F-1500F while all this was going on. At that point I shut the cruise off and took care of it "old school". I have never had taken 11k up the mountain like that...and until 4 months ago there wasn't a boost gauge to keep up with this. So right now it's watch and see what's going on.....That would be my first thought...leak in the exhaust.
