pullin hard

6.0 . SCT tuner. 65 hp tow. EGT's 700 drifting to 1000 degrees. Is this acceptable ? ( 5th wheel 13000 lbs ). 4" exhaust ( no kitty ). Egr delete. New oil cooler. Blue spring. Stc & dummy plug mods.

If you're pulling hard and only getting to 1000* that's EXCELLENT. You really couldn't ask for any better. I can hit 1000 going up the gopher hill to town towing nothing--LOL.

Glad to hear that !! The pyro is in the exhaust manifold. I LOVE my 6.0 !!

Your EGT temp is "cool" relatively speaking. I pull a 12.5K fifth wheel and have a stock exhaust. I will occasionally touch 1200F. I suppose if I do the straight back exhaust I would drop temperatures as well. But I have not had the desire as of yet to do so. Running and Edge insight Attitude with Juice module. Eric

If you are only hitting 1,000 degrees it is time to throw more fuel at it!

I read that 1300 deg. is a killer for the 6.0 . Why is 1300 the cut back temp. ?

I'm sorry, but that's BS. They withstand heat as well as any diesel out there. Mine has seen 16-1700 more times than I care to count with no damage. Granted that's not sustained temps, but still.........
