My max wasn't going up steep grades but trying to maintain a 60 mph speed in a 38-45 mph head wind in western Kansas with my 13' tall 11200 lb 5th wheel trailer storage shed flat front square corners profile. Temps climbed into the 1300-1350 range so I backed off mph till the Cummins would run in the 1200 range all day long.
A side note on EGT's.
I've ran with a empty truck in 110-113 temps at legal 75 mph around here...then pulled into a rest area and had to idle for 6-8 min before EGT dropped to a safe shut down temps.
