pyrometer temp

[bucwheat]

Hey guys what temp on the pyrometer gauge is normal and what is bag?I am pulling a 35' travel trailer in the mountains of N.C. and there are some pretty steep hills to climb.

1200-1250 is normal and you can run up to 1400 for a short burst. You do have your probe in one of the manifolds and not post turbo correct?

Yea it's in the bend of the manifold on Drivers side.Boy that temp sure raises fast when you get on it.

1250 all day, but i have hit 1600 on short bursts with no il effect thus far, but that was with an edge tuner and a psd on the trailer, very steep hill's, but you dont wanna be above 1250 for very long lol

^What do your egt's look like now with the TW tunes?

[bucwheat]

600 to 800 just crusing,it jumps up quick when you put your foot in it but I have not seen anything higher than 1000 so far.

I have a hypermax turbo/egt combo guage on my truck. when you get on it the egt raises, but drops as soon as you let off the throttle. it goes to the drivers side manifold, that doesnt seem right. I question its accuracy.

When you accelerate and inject more fuel, EGTs go up.
When you don't have fuel, they go down. What's so wrong about that?

with my tw tunes i've had it over 1400 with an over weight excursion, behind me on a 6% grade doing 45 mph in OD
