Towing with comp

I was wondering how many people out there are towing with the Edge comp? If so what levels and how high are the egt's running? My trailer is 5200lbs and the load is 2000lbs total weight pulled 7200 lbs. Any input would be appreciated.<br>Scooter

Re:Towing with comp

There's another thread in here on EGT's you might want to check it out for more info - But I have nearly the identical setup and load with our 24 foot 5er, and using 5x5 on long 7% Sierra grades, can't get my EGT's over 1200... Boost runs slightly over 32 psi...

Re:Towing with comp

Scooter, I run a Comp and BDII's with stock exhaust and stock filter. I always run on 5x5, just set the cruise 65-75 mph and let Cummins do it's work. Never had to worry about the EGT, never over 1200 degrees. It will easily go way past 1300 if I hold it to the floor. Truck and trailer weigh 18,000 lbs. Point is I never have to floor it up any hills.
