You're right...RPM & EGT go hand in hand, they are a marriage.

I guess if i'm going to tow more weight like that I'll need to get at least an egt gauge. I really don't think I did any damage to the truck but I will definitely tow differently next time. My truck is so much closer to stock than yours, Glenn, that I don't think I am pushing it as much.
