Good morning!
I have a 2001 7.3 PowerStroke Excursion, and rule number one of a 7.3 that tows heavy or in the mountains is that you need a 6637 intake, a 4" or larger exhaust, and gauges/monitors to help make sure you keep your EGTs under 1250. Even with a free flowing intake and exhaust, on a hot summer day, I can kiss 1200 degrees on a steep grade without too much trouble.
I have a 2023 6.7 HO on order, and I know exactly nothing about the 6.7. Do they need any mods to keep the EGTs reasonable when towing? Do I need to add pillar gauges or an Edge Monitor?
I ask because I would really rather not start running wires and popping panels off of a $103k MSRP truck. But at the same time, I don't want to melt a piston on an 8% grade in 90 degree weather.
