I put a Scanguage on my 04 250, so now that I have some info, I have questions. What sort of temp spread should I be seeing on eot vs. ect? Right now at 70 mph, not loaded, the eot is running about 10 degrees over ect. At 60 mph, it's about 6 over. At idle after driving it's about 3-4. Thanks for any and all replies and opinions.

 

Your "temp spread" numbers look great...what were the actual ect & eot numbers?

 

188 ect, 198 eot at 70 mph. At 60 it was 188 ect, 194-195 eot.

 

...............Perfect!

 

Muy bueno temp numbers.

Josh

 

Very good...curious to hear what they are when you are towing....

 

Last time I towed my cattle trailer, I didn't have my scanguage yet. I did pull the boat with the guage hooked, but the numbers were the same.

 

At least he didn't call the temps "deltas."

 

another scanguage question I have is how many horsepower can I expect to see? And at how many psi of boost?

 

Scangauge doesn't give you any horsepower,it's not a tuner,just a gauge.

 

SG2 doesn't have PID's for PCM reported horsepower and torque?

Josh

 

Yes, it does

 

Yes it tells me what the hp and boost psi are. I was just wondering what is normal with a stock engine. You know, what kind of hp can I expect at wot, and what kind of boost. That way I know if my truck is performing in the normal range of expected hp and boost.

 

This post makes me feel good about my numbers. I have the same "spread" while towing my boat. Other than the ECT dropping at a faster rate after a hill climb, I'm at 10 degrees going up and down the hills of the eastern Ozarks in Missouri at about 85 degrees outside temps. Boat is a 2006 Procraft 215 Combo. Boat, Motor and trailer cant be more than 4K. Went through a storm front during the last tow and the outside temp dropped into the low 70's with rain. Was showing about six to eight degree spread then. Using Torque for android :-)

 

What should be the max eot and ect temps when towing and not towing without doing any damage?
