Sorry to hear about your problems and I sure hope you get satisifaction.
My first thought is WOW 1500 EGT's , 12,500lbs up hill and down shifting.
I was always told that 1300 was as hot as you ever want to run them that anything over is melting the fins on the turbo.
I just never push my truck that hard.
Good luck

How did you determine the egt, boost, etc? was the trailer a gooseneck or a ball hitch? was the tranny in tow haulmode and in the manual or automatic setting ? Just curious i'm on my 4th duramax and while the tuner will give you boost egt etc i didnt know you could get it without ? Is that the data obtained by hooking up to the gm computer (freeze frame )? Or did you get the freeze frame data by calling Jeff Girardi ? (just kidding)Thanks

GM and Ford's warranty are great on these trucks...as long as they dont find that you added a power enhancer..chip..module..programmer...they will fix asap and give you ride as compensation..that has been my experience. Jeff
