Need some 24 valve help
I have a friend with 02 6sp 3/4 4x4 ton. Its got 4" exhaust, smarty and gauges. He tows about 12k and egts are a problem in setting 5. Things are getting too hot too fast. Any suggestions to cool things down. In stock form it pulls great with no smarty on here. Is this the wrong towing program?
Thanks,
Josh

My guess is he's probably running the Smarty without a boost elbow, correct?
With stock injectors and a boost elbow he should build close to 30 pounds of boost which will keeps things cooler.
How hot are his EGTs now?

Not to hijack this thread but I have two 01s one (HO)has a full catcher with M1.6s and the other(SO) is a smarty on 9 with rv275 bouth trucks tow extreamly heavy trailers 20k+ the only time i see any egt issues is with the m1.6s at high rpms and its running 38 psi with a stock charger.

I'm glad I'm not the only one having a problem trying to understand what's being said...
To me if someone says they have a Smarty and egts are a problem on 5. I'm thinking level 5 on the Smarty. Then he says, he's not running the Smarty, but can hit 1350 on level 5. Level 5 on what?

Sorry for the confusion He was running the smarty and is unhappy with egts. Without the smarty the truck still pulls ok but the egts are in check and that is what he is most worried about...

Get a BOOST ELBOW! Not a boost fooler, the boost elbow will keep the waste gate from opening too soon and allow him to get higher boost to aid with keeping the EGT's in check.
