EGT Temps

[Archive]

I recently installed my DiPricol EGT and Boost gauge, pretty neat to watch the gauges work. My question to everyone is wha tare your running egt while shifting the 5-speed going up the slightest inclines and so on. While returning home from a weekend at lake Texoma, I was pulling a pop up trailer, I really paid close attention to the EGT so I would have a base line. The temp outside was approx. 108 degrees F. , running 70 mph the egt's would run 700 to 800 degrees while going up some good inclines the egt's would rise up to 1000. I have seen 1050 degrees and the pump is stock. Do the readings seem pretty accurate?

From reading posts on this subject you seem to be in the ball park. They will want to know if your sensor probe is before turbo or after.

Thanks MM. The probe is before the turbo.

That's exactly what my '96 reads when towing my 6000lb trailer. I am stock, with cat. Temps measured pre-turbo. BTW, it IS fun watching those needles chase each other, around. Boost up, temp up, boost down, temp down.
