As most know I have been fighting high egts for awhile. I had 5 of my 155's go bad and decided to get some made from new ford injectors this time. After talking with Holders (04stroker) Rykan I decided I wanted to step it up to a 175/30% and see what happened.
I haven't pulled the 5th wheel yet, but have pulled heavier with other trailers, and have had no trouble with ski high egts. With just my FICM tune 40hp from PHP no SCT I was seeing a max of 1375 pulling down I25 gross weight was at 25K on my 36" Irocks. Had a few hills, on the floor in 4th (I call it) 70 mph it only got to 1375.
Empty I see about 1200-1300 on the FICM only tune, and 1200-1300 on my tow tune from Eric. With my 155's I use to see 1400-1550. I never could get them to stay cool on a full power run.
On my tow tune from Eric I was pull heavier than my 5th wheel, and decided to roll into it, up to 60 mph full power didn't go over 1350.
Holders did a great job on my 175's. They seem to fuel harder, ideal better and it drives like a stock truck, with more power. Lol.
I will update end of June how it does with the 5th wheel.
