Well could they?

I dont think it would, but a dirty filter will.

youre talking about a pre-filter like a AFE correct?

 

[chaddenton]

yes a prefilter on a k&n cold air intake the prefilter was oily and dirty. Hauling a trailer the other day egt's got to 1600. The temp sensor is after the turbo on the exhaust brake

:thud:1600* after the turbo!
That puts you at about 1900* pre-turbo. That's way hot. Piston melting hot. I'd be careful to not get it there again.

how could a guy tell there was any piston damage?

:thud: That is really hot! How long did you run it at that temp?? :w:

my wife was pulling the trailer so not sure.I havent driven it since but to back the trailer around. In am going to get a load of hay this afternoon. Is there anything I should look for while driving. Also what could cause these temps? chip was on stock and the truck has never had a problem pulling. Even with 2 more horses on board. the only thing I could think of is the filthy pre filter. The truck isnt putting any codes off to the bully dog so do you thing I dodged a bullet. Lots of questions on my end sorry

If you haven't already, take the pre-filter off and check the EGT's.
Do you have a boost gauge,and is it running normal?
Do you have alot of smoke?

Could be a bad reading on the EGT gauge--just a thought.
