Glowshift Gauges

[mudduck07]

I just installed Glowshift gauges. EGT, EOT, volts. I was wondering what i should set my high warning light to for the EGT, and EOT. I have read several posts and have not found consective numbers. I have a S/C flashpaq programmer, the EGR is deleted and its got a brand new oil system. Thanks.

Or what is the normal running temp. that yall getting?

1300 EGT, 200 EOT, 47volts

those should be your warning limits

thanks pc250 thats close to what i set it to 1100 EGT, 180 EOT,

Umm.....200*EOT is pretty low and normal temp....Are you thinking tranny temp?

I think 240* EOT is more realistic, she defuels on her own at like 253*

fair enough ive never seen higher than 220

Me neither, except when I had a clogged oil cooler....But Plenty of guys run their oil temp up to near the limit when towing grades in high heat areas. There's a good thread on it around here somewhere by that guy with the lifted black CC w/'08 front end.

Also, he didn't say what his voltage gauge monitors. But if it did FICM, 47 is acceptable intermittently so I'd set it to 46-46.5.

so I guess meet in the middle at 230 cause even 253 seems high to me.

sure, yes, dam 10 chars

My EGT gauge reads temps ranging from 400 to 2200. And when im parked and at idle it reading at the 400 mark and if i give it some throttle the needle doesnt move. But when im driving and throttle it the gauge moves like it is supposed . Im puzzled. Is it cause at idle im below 400 degrees? And because the motor is under a load it doesnt go over 400 degrees? What is the average EGT at an idle? Thanks..
