Well, I just installed the PPE hot race and 4'' magnaflow turbo back. What a world of difference. It took me alittle while to figure out how to remove the old exaust without cutting it.(Not on a lift) It is possible, if you are scratching your head send me a PM and I'll tell ya.
I am looking for a small square digital pyrometer gauge to mount near the bottom of the windshield on the left hand side. Out of sight out of mind. I have not been able to find any such animal. If anyone out there knows of anything that looks good (I dont like the pillar mount) please let me know.
When I do find a pyrometer, whats the temp just before damage?

I still have my dpf and pull a 24' enclosed weighing around 8500lbs and I see 1300 deg egt's when going up small hills running 70 mph. I'm going tb exh probably in the next month, hope to drop the egt's and pickup the mpg.

I just installed mbpr TB exhaust and PPE Hot +2 ET Race. Pulled my boat today on level six. EGT up to 1400 at most and I will back off. I had a "engine power down on my display" but no code. Scracting my head with that. truck seems fine. I would like to see cooler temps. I may just tow in a lower tune. I really don't want to se any more than 1350.

I have a 2007.5 LMM. DPF Delete. Just found the copper hose for tubo guage came at the turbo Hose (metal housing). Looks like the threads stripped and just blew off. Not sure if it was a bad install or me.

I'll try to answer the other question. I know EDGE makes a device called the Outlook monitor. You can hook EGT up to it, and it's not a programmer. And Quadzilla makes a similar product. You can have a small square digital gauge.

1350 the max you should go i hit that getting on the highway and hold right around 1250-1300 driving at 75. i have had the truck for a year and it gets driven every day this way
On the gauge thing. I didn't want pillar gauges either. I ended up with mounting a pyrometer in the cubby hole by below the radio. There is a nice looking mount you can buy that fits and looks good. Here is a picture.
Just another option.
