Here’s my input, I ran at one time on my Cat a 5DS 601hp/2050 in my 5EK series with 58’s. It was so much fun to drive. Almost like driving a pick up truck. Only upgrades I did after running that file was a Borg Warner stage 1 turbo and a 4 row 3/4” dimple tube radiator. I never ever had a heat issue with the pyro heat nor coolant temperature.
Turbo for a hot 6nz

Unless Colorado Rockies are vastly different than Canadian Rockies the majority of trucks pulling 90 k plus need to back off a bit to maintain temps . Newer trucks the computer does it automatically , on older trucks the driver does . And yes you’re moose bumper contributes to slightly higher temps but is needed in some locales . This summer I often saw 3 to 5 trucks daily on the side boiled over and maybe 2 or 3 pick ups with campers Running the Rockies .

One thing I've noticed about his tuning though, He doesn't seem to know for sure what his tunes really put out. He called that 2012 "about 625". Someone eventually dynoed a truck set up the same way with the same tune and it put 750 to the wheels. He calls this tune in the 6nz a "575" So who knows reallyOxbow and Diesel Dave Thank this.
