Ok I'm a Cummins guy with little knowledge of Duramax's, so I am looking for some advice to help direct a friend of mine in the right direction.
The truck is a 2006 crew cab 4x4 3500 with stock Allison and fuel system.
Mod's are:
S&B Cold air intake
Edge Juice w/Attitude
Originally only a 4" MBRP cat-back system.
He told me today he recently had a 4" downpipe installed and the cat removed.
He came to me today asking advice on how to lower his EGT's when hauling his 5th wheel camper. He currently has a 32 ft camper, but he's looking into upgrading to a 40 ft camper/toy hauler after the first of the year. He says on a good hillclimb with his Edge on level 2 he can hit 1300 degree's.
My best educated guess was a bigger turbo since he's already done the CAI & exhaust. What do you more knowledgeable duramax guys say?
If a turbo is the only logical step it needs to be suited for towing odviously because of the camper in question, but the guy is a Irrigation and Landscape installer for a living so he tow's almost on a daily basis with the truck.
