Anyone towing with a deleted Cummins?

350HP/800TQ not enough?

It's more than people realize.

I run 415/850 to the ground, so about 490/1000 at the crank and it's very very very very rare that I use more than 80% load when towing, and I've never needed it in 5th or lower.

At 20Klbs combined I can pull 4% grades in OD on a 85° day above 6,000 feet and have yet to find a 7-8% grade I cannot pull at 55-65 (speed depends on the road).

That's with a NV5600 and OD ratio isn't nearly as good as 5th, for towing, on the 68RFE.

I bet I could de-tune 75hp and never feel it with a trailer hooked up.

So I agree, is the cost worth the reward? Trust me I have a lot of cost!! The reward is nice, but sometimes you have to wonder...

Thou it's a cheaper hobby than other things :-)

Looks right inline to me.

There isn't much, if any, reason to delete the EGR and keep the rest of the truck stock. The EGR isn't what is was in 2007.5, even on a 2007.5.
