I posted this in another forum and didn't really get any answers so I will try it here, Thanks in advance.
Okay so I have had my truck for about 8 months now and I have done a lot of work to make it a lot more powerful and reliable truck but, I got out my 24 foot sled trailer loaded with four sleds and went up snowmobiling; it tows better but not that great. The trailer is only 2400 pounds and then four sleds at about 500 pounds a piece so 4400 pounds plus more for four passengers and gear. My question is with all the mods going 65 down the highway required 10 pounds of boost and between 800-900 EGT; then I got to the big hill. I had to drop the tranny down a to third then second a father up the hill, but I was reaching about 1200 degrees and pushing about 15 pounds of boost and I could only go up the hill at 40 miles an hour. Does this sound right for only this much weight, I have read about people pulling way more with there 6.5. Do I need to look at water/meth injection or maybe propane or does the truck have a problem. Oh yea the truck has PMD, 4" exhaust, intake, chip, gauges, cooling upgrades all from SS Diesel Supply. Sorry for the long post any help is appreciated. Oh and the motor never got over 200 degrees on the big pull, cooling upgrades did awsome. Just need more power.
