An IC will certainly help a lot, but these trucks handle heat GREAT w/out ic's. 99% of 12v and 24v cummins even WITH ic's will get too hot without a load and just doggin around. That sure says something for these non-intercooled 7.3's.

The old pre/post turbo arguement. It's not 1999 anymore. I would hope everyone is putting their egt probe in before the turbo, on the exhaust manifold.

This thread got me curious about how other makes/engines handle heat. I posted the question in the towing/hauling section, but havn't gotten any replies yet.

fords do seem to build a lot of egt heat, mainly due to the smashed flat oem downpipe (obs trucks) the super slugush eom turbocharger not spooling up untill extremely high drive pressure is produced, keep them wound up and the run resonably cool, but try and pull down like a cummins and the egt's go off the chart. with some minor work like 3" downpipe, a turbine housing swap and eliminate the cat and ebp device you can run a psd nice and hard without worring about high egt imho...
