1st time Towing with a 6.0 Intercooler....

[BIG JOE]

on a 300 mile trip to the coast, over some 6 & 7% grades, with my 11K FW. 60-65 on level ground... 45-50 in 4th gear (6th being OD) up the grades. Not WOT but make'n him work.

I'm impressed. EGTs were 50 to 100 degrees lower, truck has more staying power and and recovery ability (from slow traffic). I'm not sure if it's the 6.0 I/C alone or the combination of It and the DT466 CPS. The lower EGTs were no doubt the I/C, IMO, the staying/recovery power was the combination of both.

For anyone who does some (or alot) towing.... a 6.0 I/C is something to be concidered. Depending on the type of Mods already done.

First tow, so not a whole lot to report. Definetly BETTER tho.

Sounds good Big Joe!

What were your rpms and boost numbers? Sounds like I'd like an IC upgrade.

On the 3 mile 6 to7% (Cuesta Grade, for those that have been there)..... 4th gear, 2650 RPM, 24 lbs Boost, 8 to 850 EGTs.... 48 MPH. Just fer Chits'n Giggles, I hit the CC...'n Let the Ole' White Ford, take'r "Over the Top". Passed 2 Dodges, 1 Chebby pull'n FWs, and a Jeep (pull'n a To Big boat) on the way. Gave'm the.. 2 fingers Up, Forward tip'a the hand.. on the way by.

Ya gotta Love It.

The Ole' Boy still had some-more, but I don't Push the Envelope.

I leave the Q-zilla in the 75hp mode, towing.
