I don't see anything that would cause concern. With the ICP mod you may want to ease off her on a long climb....but other than that you should be GTG.

With Tymar intake, downpipe, and 4" exhaust before I got my chip I could still hit 1200 towing my 22' camp trailer. I'd say a stock truck will hit 1200 easily when working hard. I don't think there's enough fuel to go much beyond that though.

Yeap, me too, easily 1250, towing similar trailer, with my mods, so I NEED chip. What are your numbers after the CHIP? and your settings? And I saw you have an intercooler, that first numbers was with or without the IC?.

there is only one decent hill if i recall the way you are going, just dont lug the motor up the hill, let it downshift and go up, you should be fine,

I dont have to worry bout it now. I was tryin to unbolt the hitch on the tractor so I could switch out to my pullin hitch and a damn bolt broke. How would you get a bolt out that is hardened steel broke because of me standing on the breaker bar cause it was so tight and a bolt where an easy out wouldnt even work. Drill and tap for a new bolt?

no it bolts into the axel housing. we beat it with a hammr while having pressure applied from an easy out. its solid didnt even move. we were trying to drill it out and it broke a diamond cut drill bit that was ment for metal. the bit broke in 2 spots at the same time and one piece hit my dad in the forehead

hmm, not good, you will need to get the busted bit out first, then use a torch to heat the area around the bolt and try again

heat does amazing things, try not to get the bolt itself too hot, just the area around it
