[SBartel]

What kind o EGT's are you heavily fueled 24v guys seeing when pulling or drag racing??This is on Diesel only not water injected...





Thanks Shaun

I have pegged my SPA guage about a zillion times--1740*---chris

 

[Graphic man]

I have seen 1600+ a few times

 

[AFarmer]

Usually see around 1300. My egt's tend to be higher racing vs. pulling.

 

[mcoleman]

1600 at the top of the 1/4.

 

[Tcolesanti]

Uh, somewhere in the 1750*-1800*+ range.

 

[DRadzierez]

dont know my guage only goes to 2000 degrees

 

[Tcolesanti]

Yeah, that's why i said 1800+ cause it kinda just sits on the peg.

You sledpuller guys sure do abuse your trucks! :-laf

 

[Tcolesanti]

You sledpuller guys sure to abuse your trucks! :-laf

Boy, if that comment is'nt like the pot calling the kettle, uhhh... ... ... dark. :-laf :-laf :-laf

 

[DRadzierez]

You sledpuller guys sure to abuse your trucks! :-laf

What your not supposed to run them like that?

 

[jwilliams3]

I have never seen over 999* while pulling... .

 

[Tcolesanti]

I guess that's about right, you 3rd gen guys all have like 900hp on diesel with egt's are in the 900-1000* range and still get like 40mpg right? :-laf

 

[jwilliams3]

No you got the mpg wrong its 27mpg. :-laf

 

[Tcolesanti]

Oh, so sorry! :-laf

 

[RSlaughter]

i see 1600+ before the top of third when racing... but im really under-aired... for now

 

[justinp20012500]

1600+ have seen the needle at the "m" in meter about 1,078 times with a single HY or HX.



1400 at the most with big sticks, drag comp, and twins.



Remember, 1600+ is only for a brief moment. Nothing more then 30 seconds.

 

[LOtero]

i see the ugly end of my gauge all the time 1600+ how long sustained do you guys think is safe?

 

[Big MAK]

Keep in mind those EXHAUST temps are -not- the temp of the cylinder head unless you leave your foot in it long enough for that heat to conduct thru all that heavy steel and aluminum.



EGT 1800 degrees for 10 secs is not nearly as hard on a truck as EGT 1400 degrees for 10 mins imo.



SO...



that guy towing his RV up a 6% grade at 80mph is abusing his truck a LOT more then a sled puller!

That hot is never really safe but imo it's not excessive risk until you get to about 20 secs.



A good thermo engineer can tell us...
