    Long trip driving question

    How’s it going guys, taking a long trip and don’t wanna break anything on the way after deleting and tuning the truck.

    I’m running the 60HP box tune from RaceME Ultra on a 2016 3500 and don’t wanna break anything in the way.

    I tend to drive fast about 90 95 would that be alright to do?

    Also I feel like the turbo is running high numbers what would y’all say is an average number for the turbo % be at.

    I’m an idiot bud, I was looking on my tuner and it was the throttle position I was looking at not the turbo. I ended up just taking it easy and driving slower till I figure what all my truck likes with the new tuner..as far as gearing goes and egt its what a tradesman comes with from the factory. Tires I’ve got 35s on my stock dually wheels.

    I have the same tuner and if your not towing anything and mostly running highway I always run the 200 race tune, the bigger the tune the better the fuel mileage as long as you don’t go making highway pulls in 5th and 6th

    I don’t condone speeding but hey sometimes the speed limit is 85.

    I’d just look at EGTs and feel out the truck more than anything.

    I run 35s on my tradesman SRW and have rolled at 85-90 without issue.

    The fuel mileage is enough to make me drive slower.
