exhaust temperature
could someone tell me what the max exhaust temperature should be on a 2004 6L F250 diesel. I am pulling a small trailer round 3000lbs am running round 600 is that about right? Thanks for the help

I’m no expert, but 600 degree F is well within your 6.0 specs.
The 7.3 can go to 1150~1200 for short burst with little risk to the engine based on my research before modifying my 2000. Your 6.0 probably does not know that 3,000 lb trailer is there. My 7.3 runs 600+ degrees around town with my heavy right foot
. When pulling the 10k-11k trailer it usually runs in the 800 to 950 degrees range and it can go to 1100 degrees on (for short periods) pulling the long steep grades around here (NV, CA, UT, AZ). Note: EGT temperature limits and accuracy change depending on which side of the turbo they are measured (inlet or exhaust).
