I said keeping it under 1250* you are more than fine all day (is a good rule of thumb). I would not go up to 1600* even for a short burst. Let alone 1500* yourasking for trouble. Ask some that drag. If you do short burst over 1500* enough. You will burn things up. Towing is the samething going up a grade. Some will say it's ok, but not in my truck. I want my engine to last and not have to tear it apart at 80,000 miles.

Now I am saying this for a mostly stock truck other than the regular upgrades (CAI, exhuast, tuner/programmer, guages). If you have twins, injectors, and work done to the internals of the enginethen ya you could hit higher temps.

 

have a pre and post turbo therma couple (yes, a temp guage is exactly that).

then theres no doubt when you check it out

 

i did it in my 02 ull b ok sweetheart haha...magnet, grease and let the truck idle for a litle bit after itll fine...sally! haha jk, i was scared to

 

if you go post turbo, why even bother doing it. Accuracy is the key! Otherwise just put it on the muffler if you dont care

 

Post turbo would tell you how hot the turbo is. Very helpful when your cooling the turbo off. If it is in the manifold, exhaust temp will drop faster than turbo temp.

 

Smartass, Makes sense tho

 

I'll end up running 2 pyros. I got mine after the turbo right now, and when future mods come, I'll put one in the manifold. I figured by then the old thermocouple would probably break when I try pulling it out, so just leave it

 

Really ??

With the way everyone is so freaked about it I thought that even the tiniest piece of metal would screw it up.

 

I think most of you will likely give mea very hard time but I have been considering just getting rid of the damn thing, everytime I mash the pedal (and I havent gone to the floor yet!) I watch the guages and am just waiting for something break. First time I got on it the stupid monitior had the boost warning level set at 36psi, when that alarm starting going off talk about scare the crap out of me. I fixed that and then I get on interstate and the stupid thing goes off because I am doing 71mph, scared the crap out of me again. I find myself so worried about everything all the time I am not sure its worth it to me.

 

That is your safety features on the Attitude to save you from doing damage to your truck. You can set the warning @38 psi and defuel @ 40 psi. That's what I did on mine.Never had mywarning come on. Your not going to ruin your truck if you set your safety parameters within trucks spec. Nevered heard of the Juice ruining a truck. It may throw fuel codes on some trucks because the CP3 pump can't supply enough fuel. As you told me in another post. "grow some"....[sm=coolness.gif]

Also if you mash the the pedal and have a stock tranny. Say goodbye to your tranny. You have to be conservative on levels 4-5.
