the 10k under heavy load will heat up quicker, try pulling without it once and see how hot she gets

You guys think if I replace it with a TW or DP that it would stay cooler than with just the 10k. I would like to keep the power so if I need to upgrade then I'll do that, but going back to stock dosen't appeal to me.

if you get a chip the 10k mod is pointless, the chip will be SO much better then a 10k mod anyway, and yes if you get a tow setting it will lower egts

I am with you on the power 10K vs. stock. I pulleed a load yesterday from NC coast to home, about 500 miles. It got hot at times especially uphill. My pyro reads post turbo for now and it stayed about 900* the whole way home, it would go to 950 up small hills but when I got to the BIG one east of Asheville I found myself downshifting to keep it cool and ended up at 45 mph in 3rd gear and it got dangerously close to 1000*. I am ordering my TW today and when I get it I will post the difference with chip vs. with 10K while pulling the same load. I am also going to movet the Thermocouple to the mani fold after I get those results to verify the temp differences.

i got the lovely superchip 1705, it works but aint nothin to right home about, i suppose its as good as anything else on stock injectors but the way i have my resistor installed you can still tell a big difference when you pull it out, if you can feel a power loss on a 7k truck then you are loseing at least 20 horses
