If i had to tow at 55-60 I would be re gearing to 456. That would suck for sure.
oil high of 209, normal 200. water high of 204, normal 198. Trans never moves from the 170-180 range so I don't even watch it anymore. Had one time a while ago I was stuck at 25mph up a 10% grade for 5 minutes it went to 215, but that was it. I will monitor the trans is cases like that.
Rail pressure at 35 psi boost was dead on 20k. Seems a little high? Tcslip always less then 3 when locked.
And another good thing. I am getting almost no smoke from the 275. Even rolling hard on the throttle from low rpm (1200) towing, I am not seeing anything. Obviously if you just stomp on if it smokes, but still not that bad. I actually get much more smoke rolling into the 250 tune with a load.
I think the 275 is going to be my "set it and forget it tune". I see no reason to go any lower. Maybe hit the 310 for fun every now and then. Just like my 6.0 It has had Erics X-street loaded for over 4 years without changing it. Towing, plowing, anything.
Its such a weird feeling to just be happy with my truck. Hopefully it stays that way for a while.
