Jason, so both wheels are from KC? I might have to give this a try before going to the T4. Only because I am in California and it would be easy to pass smog. How loud is that 6x6 wheel? I don't like loud turbo's. I did up grade to the S & B intake from Clay. Thought that would help but it didn't. My 5th wheel is about 12K unloaded and as much as 16K loaded according to the trailer paper work. I am planing a cross county this summer and it would be nice not to have to worry about EGT's all the time. I have no leaks in my intake. But the stock turbo with 1.0 exhaust side and a WW. I believe the other guy said RR 4x4 wheel.
Thanks for your response a head of time. Chet. Oh I still have the stock injectors also. The Brad asked me once to try this, I just wasn't sold on the idea yet. I would also like to go to 160/80 some day, down from what I really wanted of 200/80. I'm running DP's tuning. I use his 60 tow most of the time. I like the exhaust brake. It don't
seem to work as good as it did before my trans went out, the new one has a double dis set up. Not sure I like that.

I had EGT issues with 175/146’s and 38R once upon a time. It was drive-by-pyro in the mountains - until I upgraded from dp toons...

I stopped using cruse control on the freeways because every once in a while you come see your egt's going way to high on even what appeared to be flat road. I'm sure it wasn't, but it wasn't anything that would make you really watch either. I just don't want the screaming turbo while cruising down the road. I think you said you have jelic? Is that the correct spelling? Let me know, I might have to do both. Like to get set up before this summer.

With stock or Stage 1 injectors there is just no excuse for high EGT. I literally could not get over 1250* in my Excursion with stock injectors and van turbo (BTS transmission). I could tow HEAVY in my hottest tune (‘100HP’ - dynoed 324 HP) and the only issue was frightening MPG.
on edit: currently running Gearhead tunes in my dually.
