    So I got the HOT upgrade for my Juice this morning. On the Dodges it is the same as level 5 horsepower wise, but surpasses the factory 2,700RPM defueling mode and fuels the engine hard all the way to 3200RPM's.

    My face after the first full throttle pull....:eek: :D It definantly feels like it pulls harder at redline.

    I know that the HOT upgrade is available for all of the Juices for various models and brands, I reccommend it it for sure.:D

    Holy moly thats hot. I set my EGT limiter at 1250* and usually try not to go past 1150*... With the TST on 3/3 and towing my 14k gooseneck loaded I hit about 1100* in 4th gear on the steep hills. If I turn up to 5/5 empty and lay into it I can hit 1250* in a few seconds :eek:

    Ah, its not too hot. Cummins says 1250* sustained and short bursts up to 1350* is ok. I set my EGT limiter at 1350*. I haven't pulled a grade yet with my Juice so I don't know how far I will have to turn it down to stay under 1250*. I do all of my grade pulling towing during the winter months headed to the mountains.

    As far as my EGT's with level 5 vs. Hot level 6, it's hard to tell much of a difference since it jumps to 1300*+ before the 1/8th mile is complete. :doah: I probably should turnbuckle my turbo but the HY-35 still sucks. I might come up with an used Industrial Injection Phat Shaft 62/12 sometime in the upcoming months. Diesel Nut Motorsports think they might have one coming in soon and I'm first in line for it.

    I use to run between 1200 and 1300 degrees for 4 or 5 minutes straight pulling steep grades on on my 95 Dodge. Just as long as your not exceeding 1300 for a long period of time your good.

    Is that pre-turbo or post-turbo? I know in the Dmax, I bury a 1600* guage for the entire 1/4 mile.

    Pre turbo of course, going post turbo seems a little silly to me.

    I agree, I guess the cummins is less tolerable to heat? I am just asking because I am curiousand have no knowlege of the cummins.

    Thanks,

    Ehh, I look like an idiot doing it, since my truck is a one legger. I always laugh at people trying to spin donuts with a one legger, didn't want to join the crowd.

    I'd like to get a Dana Powerlock put in my D70, infact you've inspired me to call and find out what it's going to cost....

    I think the Dmax and Cummins are about the same as far as sustained EGT limits from the manufacturer. I know the Cummins is 1250 sustained, 1350* temporarely, and I think the Dmax is the same.
