I have, works fine just keep the boost reasonable (for crankcase pressure reasons, keeping positive manifold pressure for long periods of time will cause oil seepage out of anywhere oil wants to come from) and keep an eye on coolant temperature, I put about 400 miles on my truck with 7000lb total weight, that was over a mountain pass both directions, got about 13mpg (16mpg normal driving). That was my tall truck towing a 6'x12' enclosed trailer I could comfortably stand up in. My truck with me in it is just under 4000lb so I had 3000lb of trailer and cargo...
