You’ll be ok I pull a flat pretty much grossing 75-80k daily. I put the 1.45ar exhaust housing on mine tho. I have the smaller exhaust housing still but I took it off because my truck was burying the boost gauge and blew my head gasket. Now since I put the 1.45 on the turbo slowed down some, and I also had surging with the smaller housing, the big housing fixed this issue. Truck runs great and I’m averaging about 6.1 at 70mph with as little as possible deadhead miles so mainly always heavy. If you can control your right foot the truck, and you will appreciate the more power.

Yeah I’m loaded more than empty as well, probably loaded 70% of the time at 140k gross on 8 axles, typically cruising between 65-70mph. On a good day I’ll get 4.5 mpg which is considered in the top range pulling super b’s up here. I know some guys up here that just stuck a marine C18 in his Pete, 1000hp bone stock, says only kicks off his cruise for towns lol.

Yah that sounds about right lol, whole lotta money there though.

you will be just fine. High altitude needs the smaller exhaust housing
