Computer control and EGT's.

So, with all this new computer stuff (and I know my chevy 6.5td was smart enough to do the following).<br><br>With the new computer control. Is the computer smart enough to cut fuel if you are ******* the engine on a heavy load to keep the EGT's within (below) spec?<br><br>Or is this something we should really be monitoring on a "stock" truck?

Sorry - - it will run up there pretty high if YOU let it. Seems like they could do something about that, but it is up to you to protect your investment. If you tow, be sure to have a pyro. I was quite shocked at how quickly I can bury mine when pulling my big fiver.

Scotty - - where is our Scotty III, baby - - we need it.
