My 03 with 75hp sticks has went to running higher egt than it did a couple of months ago. It only happens when pulling lq horse trailer. I am seeing 1350 on grades that I never saw above 1275 before with cruise set at same speed.
Only think i can think of that might be going on is wife was out at a show and in rough pasture and dislodged the fuel supply line where the quick connect from the metal to rubber line occurs. She made it home but claimed she had no power and that the truck was smoking bad when she would accelerate. When she got home she shut truck off and it wouldn't start back. When I realized it wasn't getting any fuel I tracked it down to the dislodged fuel line fixed and has run fine since.
My thought is that this problem might have sooted up the stock muffler enough that with its normal age and miles my be causing a flow restriction thus the increased egt. Does this sound plausible?? If so I know that I could put a test pipe in place to check but I really don't want to listen to the drone while pulling trailer for 6 plus hours. Whose after market muffler will help. I dont think I want to drop the coin on a full turbo back exhaust If I don't need to.
Sorry guy what a dummy I was posted this in the wrong forum I have started another thread in the right forum.
