EWW

Looks and sounds like another false pyro reading(s). Read it



fully, he claims not being very hot at all... OUCH. That had to



have been caused by heat soak.

besides that he states that he had the banks pyro hooked up meaning he was using the speedloader which in the instructions it clearly states that the speed loader is for offroad and racing use only not to be used every day especially on level six. From the wording of his post I'd say he uses it on level six all day long which isn't good.

I've a had a sixgun for a week now and couldn't be happier. I'm gonna hook my speedloader up this weekend but I think I'll hook the pyro for the speedloader post turbo and hook my gage up pre turbo and monitor the temps myself.

It would be very unfortunate if it was a manufacturing issue. Now that he is his own warranty station. That is a lot of damage.



I got a dumb what if. What if the sixloader was getting its readings off the post turbo? I buried 1700, daily for years. It takes a lot of heat for a long time to wipe one of these engines out. Unless its manufacturing. Its operator error. False reading from two probes is unlikely. That thing got real hot.

I had the six-gun bundle w/speedloader installed 2 months ago to boost power for towing and I couldn't be happier. The truck pulls with plenty of power to spare. I never tow above level 4 and most of my driving is done on level 4 or below.

MMotschman to get the EGT limiting protection from the speedloader the pyro probe needs to be pre turbo.



Those pics really shocked me so I read all the threads on that forum that are related to his dilema. He's going through a very unfortunate experience but he's blaming Banks for his misfortune even though he chose to ignore their warnings and tow in level 6(he states this fact in a previous thread). It's amazing how quick people are to slam Banks. He should be happy with the new motor when it's finished.

So what's Banks position on using the SpeedLoader when towing? I've seen some posts where it said that the SpeedLoader is only supposed to be used for offroad or racing use. But then every truck show I've seen on TV where they've been touting the Banks kit says to use the SpeedLoader for towing with the SixGun.



Just curious...

gosh a brand new truck,that is sad

 

[DannyCornelius]

The most important benefit from the Speedloader is the EGT limiting... if the EGT gets up to 1350deg the system cuts back fuel delivery. Without the speedloader the operator better make sure he is watching his guages because the sixgun tuner by itself doesn't limit EGT. Use of Level 6 with the Speedloader-not just the Speedloader- should be limited to off-road and racing use. When you put your foot in it on Level 6 exhaust temps get high really quick even without a load.

Well, I ran my 01 truck over 1800 degrees several times and it had 201k miles on it when I sold it. Never once had trouble with that truck. My friend fried 2 pistons running up a hill with 4k pounds and was only running 1250 degrees. Another friend of mine is still driving a 96' truck with 462k miles on it that has been run over 1600 degrees millions of times in its life. It don't make sense at all. I torture my trucks because I'm curious of what these engines can take. I've never done one minute of repairs on my trucks except working bugs out of stuff like twins or putting o rings in. And then there are these trucks that actually get taken care of and they go BOOM. Maybe I'm just lucky. Or maybe all that heat I throw on those pistons somehow heat treats them and makes them supernaturally strong!! HA HA Just kidding, but as of yet, I haven't heard a better explanation.

I'm w/ you, I will drive mine like I stole it for ever, I think they run better that way. Only sucks to have to visit the fuel station a little more often!
