How hot is too hot?
I can't find any old threads. Anyway My truck tows 80% of the time and although I have seen about 1250 degrees I usually back out before then. How hot is it ok to hit pulling a hill and how hot can I run on for an extended amount of time. I have seen many loads well over 20k but that's what diesels are for. and yeah my truck has about 365k miles on it The engine supposedly has been rebuilt.

I was told that if I kept it under 1350 I wouldn't hurt anything, but I read somewhere (I think the Dr. Performance website-not 100% sure though) that you don't want to exceed 1050(give or take) for an extended period of time, which I would guess to be at least 1 min, maybe more. But like the others said, I have a budy that maxes out a 1600 gauge at will on a stock charger, for well over a year now. So there is a risk, but these engines were built to be abused, just make sure it's fun!
