Dumb question, but have to ask anyways...is the pyro reading abnormally otherwise? If so, could indicate a problem with the pyro...

Cool pics, though ;Sweet

Does your turbo have a wastegate? If yes, maybe you need to adjust it, or it is stuck and turbo is only spools at higher load/rpm? That 1100 deg pyro temp makes me think IP fuel screw turned up too high in combo with the non-functioning wastegate. cookoo OkieGringo

I've seen pics of your rig before.
Still amazed at how well it carries 2 cars. :thumbsup:
When I was still towing, our guys ran GM 3500HD's
and they always sagged like they had 12,000lbs on
the deck with a double load like that.

thats why i only run fords,i wont run a chevy/gmc :puke: for a tow truck unless its a 6500 or bigger.even a f350 will carry a load better than a 3500 chevy. ;Sweet
