Where's your probe located?

"Safe" would be anything under 1100*

 

What is max?

 

Its in the exhaust manifold

 

I wouldn't want to see more than 1250 if it were my truck.

What's your max now?

 

The max its gotten 1550

 

As Paris would say....

 

What kind of tuner are you running and what kind of exhaust is on the truck?

 

1200 not for more than a couple seconds.

 

I would think nothing of running EGT over 1250 for no more than a minute, as high as 1350 for seconds is ok, but, really, there is risk with that. I have towed stock, loaded and over loaded at 1250 all day with my truck, never a problem. You also need gauges to watch your boost to be sure that it's not to high. EGT is very important with any kind of tuning, FICM or tuners, as those programs all push the EGT past the limits of the stock tunes. I installed an ED's FICM with atlas 40 this fall, so towing season will be interesting, watching the EGT.

 

I have had the same experiences and never had a problem. It's all about common sense.
