I'm sure you can just buy a probe, I don't know where though. Does your tranny shift solid or is it a little soft? If it's nice and solid it may be upgraded already, if the guy said it was "beefed" up. If you have any doubts and have the money I guess I'd change it.

 

yeah it shifts nice and firm and trany temps are low, hmm hope that gauge is put in right !!! do you think i can reuse my probe, just move it and put i plug in old spot???

 

I guess you should be able to.

 

I don't see a problem with using your old probe. Just make sure the tip of it is in the center of the pipe for the best reading. If you need just a probe you can buy them from different places.
I just bought the probe alone for my Autometer pyro gauge from Summit Racing. About $60

 

put probe in driver side manifold (under truck)


Probe centered in pipe

 

wow thanks that is a good pic!! the 2 pic is a probe in down pipe right?? do you all use the band or tap the manifold and put in a fitting or dose it matter?? thank you all so much!!!

 

I have two 97 PSD's. One has an auto trany. I had it rebuilt last year; $3,500. I heard it was not a good idea to switch to synthetic after running conventional. So its not a bad idea after all?

 

T he 2nd pic is a DP but it's just showing to put the tip of the probe in the center of the pipe for best readings

Tap in probe IMO is the best

 

ok will do fordpride ill get a good bit and tap in the morring and move it, what should i be looking for if the high egt temps have hurt some thing?? i have lots of power and use no oil, so maybe iam ok?? when i tow egt get just in the 1000 but with probe in wrong spot thats really 1300, and 600 when just driveing is 900. man cant beleave my luck!!

 

hey man, for the dp POST turbo, aw man im surprised i didnt cook my motor when i first brought it home, i hit 1400 post turbo... LOL then i swaped it to manifold and it rose ALOT faster. but that was with 160cc stage 1's, then i added the 6.0 IC and it pretty much rises slowly to 1200 degrees then stays there wont go over....till i run out of oil and it drops boost and smacks 1400 haha but that doesnt happen very often.

IC is most noticed when theres a load or pushing some boost. around the highway your temps are acturate, 600 degrees is normal at crusing speed the most ill hit is 725 on cruise up a hill.

 

ok so is the 600 right now even though my probe is in the dp or is the 600 really 900?? i have 130 but lots of mods, this hole time i was thinking egt was ok dam was i wrong!! 6.0 ic hmm i have a 2000 supperduty i have been getting some parts off of will thr ic, spider and pipes work??? i also have a new ats ic but have a cance 2 sell it, and maybe get my beans stage 2S???

 

yeah i hit 700 or so going up hill, dont like my egt gauge numbers are hard 2 read, i hit 1000 or so when pulling my loder and miny x, but found out that is really 1300 since its in the dp. so not sure what the heck my egt is lol

 

Your numbers will become closer to accurate the longer you stay in constant conditions.
So If you punch it, yeah your off 300 degrees, but if you are crusing at a constant speed it'll be close.
