lower egts
 
ok im sick of high egts im not interested in the high hp any longer just want to tow and keep my egts managable. towed a 19' pontoon boat today and hit 1200 just getting up to 65mph. this winter will be hualing a sled deck with 2 sleds and a 4 place sled trailer total 6 sleds constanly dont want high egts everything in my sig is whats done just recently swaped my 191 dvs to 181 and not much difference in towing egts

---AutoMerged DoublePost---

im assuming the f350 weighs more than the dodge 2500 did so im thinking that might be a contributing factor. wont go with water/meth had it and the entire system froze when were in canada last winter and some days get to -10 as a high in the winter so water/meth is out

No, my truck gets that hot too. It's the poor cooling design of these blocks..

Bigger turbo. Im going with the 6.7 turbo this winter.

oh believe me i have a big enough turbo

do you have aftermarket manifold they help out some, or even intake horn or intercooler

cummins95 08-25-2010 09:34 PM

have you had any head work done? might wanna consider it. i've heard the heads on these trucks are pretty restrictive. or maybe a milder fuel plate like an 8 or somethin. also your engine is studded so you could prolly bump the timing more. just some suggestions. nice truck tho

i dont think the ports are that bad it just the intake manifold part of the head restricting air to the back cylinders, but p&p head would deff help
