Ok, I finally got my X-Monitor installed and drove a 13k trailer from Tucson to San Diego. My truck is an '05 stock, 3. 73, auto.
I had to downshift a couple times to 2nd to keep speed up (5-6% grades).
My EGT probe is post turbo and climbed above 1100 a couple of times and normally were between 950-1050 with the gas almost to the floor. In 2nd gear, I had more power available.
My RPM's in 3rd ran about 2700 max, and in 2nd ran about 3000-3100 max.
My boost never (I don't recall) got above 27. 3 and was normally at that level in either 2nd or 3rd while climbing.
Are these numbers in line? I am really trying to get a "baseline" and know what is normal. I want to be sure both my truck and guages are operating normally. I have 25k miles on the truck.
Thanks ya'll. bob
