I have been running a Pheonix chip on my truck for a while now.
Just last month I was climbing Steven's pass in the truck using stock tune.
EGT was 1000.
I then switched to the 25 HP tow tune.
EGT dropped to 850 and that was on a steeper portion of the grade.
I use this truck to pull a 14k lb 5th wheel camper.
The best tune to use for EGT control (IMO) is the 25hp tune.
You get a little more power than stock tuning, and the EGT drops down by quite a bit.
The other positions on the chip are for more HP.
The 45hp tune gives a lot more power but the EGT pushes 1200 if I let it.
It's only good for short hills.
The 80hp tune is NOT for towing.

The single most important thing in life is the condition of the human soul. All deeds, whether they are good or evil, spring up from that.
