EGT Temps?

[fatalstrike]

I have an 06 with an intake and 4" turbo back exhaust with the cat, on the stock setting on my chip i am seeing about 350 degrees at idle and 700-950 while crusing on the freeway with no load and not under heavy acceleration does this sound normal?

Thats about right.

I want to know which runs hotter stock or with custom tunes? bc my truck runs way hotter stock than with my custom tunes by innovative

[Strokin6Liters]

It should run hotter tuned

[fastasssr20]

Mine will run hotter just normal driving stock. However, it doesnt get as hot stock when I really get on it as the tune.

So like just normal take off from the line its 200 or so hotter and stock will go to 1000 degrees or so.
Tuned it will reach 1300+ but not as hot just cruising

i noticed the truck runs way hotter on the low end stock then the custom tunes. the custom tunes will be hotter on the high end.

Thanks scotty

350 idling, 600-900 crusing dependant on speed, uphill etc. I can peg 1300 on a hard accel run. Tuned. 750-850 is the most typical crusing on flat ground with the stock exhaust and gutted cat.

thanks guys i was used to the temps on my 7.3, what should the max safe temp i would want to run while towing?

[Lubbockguy1979]

U can run 1200 all day long. Much north of 1250 is pushing it sustained though. Short bursts probably would be ok.
