I can hit 1300-1400 in a higher tune if I go willy nilly, but I adjust the tune on hills to stay right at 1200-1250 full throttle, which is usually the tow tune. 2001 7.3 Powerstroke.
Literally ditto....
I just came home from a week long trip to the North Idaho mountains, and pulling all the various passes between there and Seattle I regularly hit 1350 if I pushed it, but for the most part I kept myself from pushing the go-peddle past 1250.
It's been my experience from friends/family who run Dodges that they try not to go over 1200, where as the old 7.3L Fords can regularly hit 1350. I've had mine for almost 15 years, never had an engine or turbo related problem, just upgrades when I felt like it.
