Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Exhaust Tempeture

[Big Wheel]

Dose anyone know what the normal operating exhaust tempeture should be on a 2001 dodge cummings. Not bomb in anyway or not pulling A traler running empty. ??

Running empty w/ no trailer on the freeway I see about 600-650 at 70mph depending on outside temp. My pyro is pre-turbo.

Here is some information out of my log book before the truck was upgraded except for gages. I only had about 200 mi. on the OD. For what it's worth:



Level grade at about 600 to 800 degrees with 13 lbs. of boost at 68 mph.



Test drive truck up 7% grade: 3rd gear-70mph-3200

rpm. Pyrometer registered 1150º up grade. Cannot do

70 mph in OD. On the flat, about 670º @70mph w/14 lbs.

boost. Max boost is about 20 lbs.

As a fellow Michigander, it's my duty to point out your minor spelling error, we have been know to hang people for making this mistake, I suggest you make a correction ASAP.

Me 2 Rob, drives me nuts!!! As for the EGT's I always thought mine ran kinda warm. 60 mph flat ground in OD about 750-800 depending! Thermocouple is in manifold. Hope this helps.



P. S. EGT's went down about 100 deg. after 4" exhaust!

Well guess what guys, the new spell checker suggests Cummings for Cummins. HA!
