I have a '92 W350 Dodge Cummins 5sp with 354 rears. I just bought a fifth wheel camper that grosses at 11k. The truck is stock. I will be adding an afe air filter and cleaning up the exhaust. Will I be in any temp dangers such as EGT's? She pulls the camper pretty well but I do notice that I put the throttle on the floor when goin up a grade. I know this is probably normal but with a stock setup like mine are there any dangers?<br><br>Thanks for the info and help<br><br>Gary

 

Gary, when my truck was stock, (it's a '93), it would push the egt's right up past 1100 degrees easy, especially at lower rpms. I never tried to see how high they would go. It was o.k. above about 1750 rpm or so. One thing I did that really helped was install a 16 cm turbo housing. I also have a 4' exhaust. This brought the egt's down a good bit. That leads to turning the fuel up, and you won't believe how much nicer it is to drive. Clarence

 

Clarence<br><br>Thanks again for the info. Yeah I was tryin to keep er stock. I was afraid that it wouldn't have enough to pull the fifth wheel before I got er. She ain't now rocket but she will pull er ok. I was trying to get out of &quot;bombin&quot; if I could. Don't want to hurt er though I love that truck.

 

Thumbs,<br> I'm a tad newer with a95 but my EGT would run about 1150 with a slightly heavier trailer on a hard pull. I would think you'll be OK stock but the guages, especially the EGT wouldn't hurt.<br><br>Bill

 

Gary,<br>If you find that the truck is starting to lug, then shift down into 4th gear this will bring the temperature down.<br>---<br>Al

 

I have a 92 and used to a Lance camper with every option available. It was one heavy mother. I had no problem hauling it. I did lose a O.D. carrier bearing which was fixed under warranty. I pull a 31 ft travel trailer now, no sweat.<br> JJ

 

Hey thanks guys. I take it as long as I don't lug the engine I should be fine right? I guess keepin it in power band around 1800 rpm. should do it. <br><br>Thanks again<br><br>
