What temp. should i set my defueling leave.
I have a 04 with a Bully Dog PMT staked with a Torque dog(Van Aaken) box, 5" turbo back exhaust, afe mega cannon, and a afe bladerunner. Right now i have my defueling level set at 1350; is that a safe setting or can it go high without hurting anything. Right now i hit the defueling level way to quick if i am on the highway trying to haul.

I would like to know this as well. I was hauling a 10k skid steer up a long 3-8% grade today and my edge kept going on as have it set at 1330. I was running on level two when it was beeping, so for curiosity i switched it to stock and kept my throttle steady (immediately noticed power cut) and the egt's held constant at about 1310-1315, so i would think 1350 would be safe, temp? We need an expert's opinion.

I have pegged my pyro at 1600 for over 14 seconds many times. But CR are different that the VP44 trucks and I would say 1400 continus,I am not an expert but thats my opinion (someone correct me if I'am wrong). What I did to lower my EGT is load the Aftermarket Turbo/Stock Injectors into my smarty and 1400 is pushing it hard now, I don't know if Bullydog offers that.

t-boe i think the cummins run hotter than that, i see 1250 ALL THE TIME just running on level one and two w/edge pulling 4 place enclosed snowmobile trailer. I know the older powerstrokes at 1250-1300 you better be letting off and only run at those temps for short periods. But the newer cummins run 1250-1300 all day. I think much over 13-1350 i would be letting off a bit. Just my $.02.

The 04.5 and newer engines can easily surpass 1400 degrees STOCK AND UNLOADED on a long hill. Also, more of these engines are failing than ever before. If it was mine, 1250 would be the highest sustained temperature I would ever run, with quick trips to no higher than 1400.

I know both my 05 and 06 could hit 1450* bone stock on a long grade....so if the stock programming lets it hit there, i couldnt imagine it's too bad.....i'd say 1400*

The problem is that dealers are having to replace more of these 04.5 and newer engines than ever before. It's not so bad on warranty, but I wouldn't want to be paying for it.

1350 max is safe and conservative, I wouldn't want it there very long though. I've heard of pullers and racers getting up to 1600 for short bursts.
I didn't see a turbo listed in your mods. It sounds like you need more air to balance out the additional fuel (it will also get you another 50 HP). I'd go with a 62 for best driveability. .

No turbo yet, kinda ran out of money.
