1250 for extended periods of time is not good...

stage 2's without an intercooler will work as long as you don't tow anything... If you are towing, turn the chip down to stock and drive while watching the egts...

International says 1250* sustained is fine. You can pull all day at 1250* and not hurt a thing other then your pocket book from the fuel useage.

Look for a superduty intercooler... If you can fabricate a bit its not a hard install...

You can go over 1250* for short periods of time, I have seen 1800* before, just dont do it every day or after a long hard pull.

with stg. 2 rosewoods, d-66, no innercooler. I run about 1100-1150 towing my 5,600 lb boat. thats on a 70 hp tow tune. Not to say your truck will do the exact same, but thats where i'm at.

and I really don't expect to go much lower than about 900-950 when I do install an IC. I also hit cruise when towing and drive like a grandma.
