1,250* is max! I've heard no more then 1,250* for 30 seconds.Bone stock, (muffled exhaust, stock intake) on a slight incline cruising at 60, about 2,000, maybe 2,100 on the tachometer, pulling 8,000 lbs, I saw 950* for a few seconds, and then I topped the hill, and they fell back to ~700*. :thumbup2:EDIT: After I put the BHAF on, I pulled the same hill with the same weight, and EGT's were about ~50* cooler.

Texas CTD - Thanks a bunch. I pull about the same weight as you, and our trucks are about the same. You must have a 4:10 gear, mine is a 3.54, so expect for and difference altitude might make I should be almost the same.

No sir - 3.54, NV4500. :thumb1:

My buddy and I were discussing this exact thing last night. He tows a lot and heavy, as well as runs a 12V pulling truck. Pulling truck is stupid mean, and tow rig is a modified, twin turbo 24v (both are 2gens.)

He runs 16-1800* in his pulling truck. Towing, he regularly sees 14-1500*F pulling long grades, no issues thusfar.

Is this a good practice for the average Joe? Doubtful. I asked about the 12-1300*F range under load for a minute or two, and he responded "wouldn't worry about it"..

Food for thought..

I must be confused, or I am the wrong guy replying to this thread... I don't have a DPF, and I don't recall ever saying I did.... This is Utah Dully...

He was reading the signature of CUMMINSDIESELPWR , look at his sig from post #11 above, says he has the dpf "Diesel particulate filter" deleted which didn't come along until around 2008. Nothing to do with you.

While towing with my 02, I ran 1250-1300 consistantly for years with no issues. Measured Pre-turbo rear section of manifold collector.

I know guys with modded 3rd gens who never see anything less than 1200 while towing full time.
