Actually, it only sounds louder on the outside, it quiets down pretty good inside. I just took the truck for a test run and my EGT's reached 1,000*. Not towing or anything demanding just cooking chevys and such and I it got up too 1000* once and 900* the rest of the time. I turned up the pump the same as I did the old one (1.5) and I guess I didn't need to. Scared me half to death when I saw my gauge sweeping, lol. Other than that, IP runs great, GLOWSHIFT gauges work awesome - I love the different colors, lol.

yeah these pumps run a bit hot from the builder, mine can get to 800 and i never touched it. Played with the torque screw a bit and all i saw was black smoke at idle and 400 idling so i put it back. It never got over 800 as the torque screw only alters fuel delivery below 1500rpm(i think thats right) but low speed around town 600-700 taking off was no prob and messy lol

i know what you meant bro, i was just pointing out that these pumps are probably turned up a flat already from the builder. The seem to run hot and i really wonder what temps i hit before i was turbo happy.

Yeah, the difference is huge! I'm kinda mad now that I turned it up so much on the bench - I shoulda known the pump was gonna be different. It was so easy on the bench, I just rotated the end, found the screw and turned it up (too much). Now I got to turn the whole dang engine over 100 times fishing for the hole to turn it down, lol.
I do love these gauges though, I don't know why people think they look cheap? They look awesome and are very responsive + 7 different colors. And I still can't get over what I paid for them - I'm very happy with the purchase.

Yeah, I'm gonna turn her down 1 flat today and see what I'm reading. I was way too hot last night. I turned her up 1.5 flats so I bet I'm at 2.5 flats now, I hope I don't loose all the extra power when I turn it back down.
You turn yours back down yet?
I like the pics on the sig too, I saw it on another forum so I decided to try the idea.

Yeah i have mine where it needs to be now, kicking up a 12% grade at 60mph i can stay under 800 now. If i was loaded i wouldnt be going that fast anyway nor the rpm's so i believe i am good. Time will tell but yeah, uhaul pump = hot pump haha.

If you have a pyro you shouldnt "need" to turn it down. All you are doing by turning it up is adjusting the fuel limit. So you could turn it down but its the same as just letting up on the pedal. 1100egt's every now and then isn't a bad thing, when i hook on the 28' gooseneck the first hill is the hardest but once the carbon gets hot and burned out of the motor it feels like a gained another 20hp. Diesels love to work dont be afraid to hit 1100 hypermax says even 1100 sustained egt's is ok.

I only go 1000+ if im bogged and trying to pass or when im going fast up hill. Only when I get my foot way into it. Then it drops way down really fast. I turned mine up 1 flat and I get tons of smoke when im bogged. I think I need to ajust my TPS tho.

I know what the fuel screw does, and when I'm towing 10K up a 20* grade, my EGT's are gonna go way higher 1000* if I'm hitting 1000* by just accelerating off a stop light. To get maximum performance and less transmission stress, I want the engine in higher revolutions going up hill towing. If my engine is in higher revolutions going up a hill with the pump turned up 2.5 flats, my EGT's are going to skyrocket sure as I'm sitting here. If I back off the skinny to lower EGT's going up a hill, I'm putting loads of extra stress on the tranny that doesn't need to be there. The only time you should see close to or over 1100* is when you are working it to the limits - not when you take off from a stop light to cook a chevy or spin the tires.
