Truck is going in the work force

[Deere Freek]

I'm going to start using my truck to pull a 2 car gooseneck 5 days a week. Getting a Duramax soon but for now it's what i have and i might as well use it. I have all the mods in my sig and am getting a GL4. My problem is i'm constantly running into high iat's and it's defueling my engine.What's the best way to go about it? I dont thing the gl4 would be a fix for that.

Is that "green" air filter drawing cold air from the fender?

I was thinking you should get the towing program instead of the GL4 but I looked at Heath's web site and I'm not sure they offer it any more. I believe the GLE would do a better job than the GL4 at keeping IAT's down, might be worth a call to Heath to discuss.

Welcome to workin full time with your 6.5!!!!

If I were you towing that I would get the A-Team turbo ASAP.

You may like it enough to keep using it instead of that humungous duramax payment(s)... don't forget, new trucks break down too.

You only pushing 8psi boost and having high IATs? Are you seeing that on a scanner?

I would have to be trying hard to see my IATs over 1000 deg. post turbo since I've had Heath's EPROM and turbomaster. I tow heavy when I tow. You'll be surprised, I think. It will run more efficient and the pyro won't see high temps like it used to.

Hey Ryan hopefully this was a typo, you mean EGT over 1000 ???, I don't think I want to be around something with IAT of 1000F in a 6.5, only thing like that I've been around with that high a IAT has been final stage of multi stage axial flow jet engines compressor.

X2 with Buddy on ???


You need to verify the temp/other parameters on a scanner, 8psi should not be too high an IAT, GM turbos don't start to build a lot of IAT until 10+ psi on a hot day, look at the data on the ATT thread where I posted several GM-8 data points. May be a bad IAT sensor IF that is what is triggering the defuel

WHOA!!

Nice catch, bro! Yeah, I meant EGT.

IAT at 1000 deg - can you say nuclear? LOL
