First towing experience this weekend

[houseofdiesel]

So, 214/186 at 18psi.
What’s max boost on that?

what’s the JT’s max boost?

Backed off to take the picture, but 40 PSI.

Backed off to take the picture, but 40 PSI.

temps should be nice and low at 18psi.

they will be nice and high at max boost, 40psi.

I think part of the trick is to manually shift the JT to keep in the peak torque/hp and stay outta boost.

230 oil temp isn’t bad, IMO. My wrx would run that hot when I was .

Short trips to 240’s in a diesel doesn’t sound unreasonable under load, going up a grade, hot ambient temps.

I think the derate programming is conservative.

40PSI? my max is 32PSI and my Banks iDash records the max values and stores them. I feel like 40 is pretty high.

Also, the OP seems to have the cruise control on in the images posted while towing. I am sure that has something to do with high temps as the throttle management is probably much worse with the computer at the helm rather than a person who can apply the throttle or manageably with the boost and trans shift points.

Just my thoughts...

If I recall correctly the manual says not to use cruse...
