EGT Readings on Banks Stinger Kit
I have a 2001 f-250 CCSB 2wd w/ 135k miles
It has the banks Stinger Kit. IC Pipes, 40 HP Chip, Banks Wastegate, WW, Transmission line booster, and Banks Transmission Cooler.
I don't believe it has the Banks IC tho. We bought the truck w/ it so i'm not sure, and I do not have the truck to check.
My question is how hot should the EGT's reach? I run about 500-600 down the highway at 75-80 mph. And up big hills w/ 14000lbs GTW I stay right at 900 Fahrenheit when I'm going up big hills. Does this sound like the proper temps? I do not know if the EGT is pre-turbo like it should be so I wanted to double check to make sure I'm not over heating anything.
Thanks alot guys.

You need to see where the EGT probe is I believe Banks is the company who reccomends post turbos (downpipe). If it is post turbo it is really hard to say as they about the temps as the vary but 900 could be pushing it, or it could be fine.

Need to move that probe to the manifold or up-pipe, especially if you're towing like that regularly.
