Should a guy be using that much timing while pulling? I used that #4 setting pulling a horse trailer and 4 horses and I had a ton of rattle, it didn't sound good. I know timing reduces egt's but even so, could too much timing cause a melted piston in the engine before a guy even saw it on the guage?

i pulled mine w/tnt on level 9 couple weeks ago. no problem. lay the timing back to #2 or default and crank it up. i saw no more than 1300 deg. but you might be hotter w/ stock turbo. still not going to hurt anything for a few seconds.
