EGTS??
Hey guys as some of you know I have only had my truck for a few weeks, the truck has a full set of gauges, I just don't know about the EGT.
What do your egts stay at say just driving around town? what about on the highway? Whats the highest your EGTS should go? 1000? 1100?
Just looking for some input.
Don't want to blow my motor up!

EGT's will rise and fall with movement of your foot or hill you hit, ect. Open road driving mine will stay between 600 and 800 degrees. 1200 is the theshold for any prolonged amount of time. Higher temps won't hurt for short periods, and 1400 is my personal max. I will back of if I see 1300 and a choice.

No I mean I have a TS 6 position, and I am running 75hp economy and I really don't beat on the truck at all haha. I didn't want to do anything before I knew the truck enough, and what was safe. I didn't know if 1100 was fine, or 1400 was okay ya know?? Which was why I wanted to find out. Hell before 2 weeks ago I didnt know what the hell an EGT was lol

Then 1250 is your max sustainable EGT's. Keep it under that number for any extended period of time. You can only go over that in short bursts, such as drag racing or sled pulling.
