Ron - I've got a 2004.5 Dodge 3500 with the Cummins. Your safe running EGT's at 1400 all day long and higher for very short bursts. Pulling in the hills of Wyoming I can peg the temp gauge at 1600 VERY Easily in stock form so be carefull. I have a manual so trans temp isn't an issue but on my last truck (Auto) pulling heavy at highway speeds temp was 180 and would climb to 225-240 on logging roads when going slow.
