Im seeing what everyone is getting for egts when driving 70, if you could include egts for uphill, downhill, and level ground at 70 mph, thanks

rebal

650 +-at 70 mph depending on head wind as far as up hill that depends on the grade some grades i hit 900* going down hill? long hill 200*

Most of the time at 70mph with no trailer I see between 600-625* on flat ground. When I hit a hill it will creep up a bit. On a pretty good grade I might see 800*.

I see around 650* on the level at 70 mph . . . about 850 to 950* on long uphills .... and 300* on downhills. Like rebal said, it depends a lot on the wind. I've seen over 850* on the level in a stiff headwind here in Eastern Wyoming.

About 700-750 goes up to 850 on hills. Long steep hills it can get to 1000-1100.

But I'm at 6000 feet above sea level.

No trailer, 70 mph on level Interstate I see very low EGT's--most times less than 500.

I was pushing 800 degrees all the way home tonight. Going up hill I'll hit 1100 or so. Thats at 3500'.

turfguy

650 to 725 on average

I see 850-875 on level ground, as high as 1200 going up hill, and 400 going down hill, i think my egts are higher than most peoples and im not sure what else to do about it, without adding a water/meth system

4969joes, maybe your gauge is off. My gauge reads about 25 degrees high at it's lowest reading. What I mean is this--when I get in my truck in the morning and it's about 50 degrees out, the EGT gauge reads 75 degrees. I don't know if that temp differential remains constant over the entire readout or not.

TxDiesel007

used to see 650-750 or so

but that was many moons ago

K-type thermocouples are designed for higher temps, they won't be completely accurate below their specified range. My pyro will read 75 degrees whether its 30C outside, or -30C.

I wished my guage reads that low. The lowest number is 300 C which is 572 F. It goes up to 1200 C which is 2192 F.

500F with empty truck, mile high elevation.

70mph = 650 to 700F for me. Probe is pre turbo.
