This is the perfect thread to bring this up. I have no towing experience yet but since I'm such an aftermarket fan and have perused Mishimoto's website many times, I want to run this by you guys.
Mishimoto first developed their upper support bar for the 08 to 10 6.4 trucks. They have them for the 11 to 16s. They show a video where they pick up a 6.7 Powerstroke by that bar. They try it with the factory bar and it bends then snaps. I'm thinking the factory radiators would last longer with one of these in place to stop the frame flex which is cracking the radiators.
I was up and down Monarch Pass twice in the last two weeks towing my 5th wheel (13,000lbs-14,000lbs loaded). My water temp never went over about 218-219 and that was with 80 degree temps at the bottom of the grade. Don't trust the factory dash gauges. They won't tell you much. I found that out with my 2006 F350 6.0 I had previously. I use the TorquePro app on my phone with a blue tooth adapter and watch my water, oil, transmission temps. I also watch the exhaust temps and can tell when the truck is doing a regen.
On top of Monarch Pass stopped for Lunch two weeks ago.
