My Diesel smart IC should arrive Monday, so will be interesting if it makes any difference over a tad leaking factory one.
Hi Hodge

It got me worried the first but I only get these temp's when towing a 1.5 ton camper with the truck fully loaded up very steep hills ( mountains lol ) with my foot flat to the floor. And only seen 550 degrees in very soft sand without the camper a couple of times. Towing makes a heap of difference to the EGTs up steep hills.

You say your only getting a max of 400 degrees with the dawes/needle fitted, how much boost are you seeing ? and did you notice less power after you fitted it ?
