I had a egt probe installed pre turbo on a 2009 Dodge 3500 ctd. We tow a fifth wheel trailer behind it and would like to know at what temperature I should get concerned as I can find no information in the manuels?

 

1350 is the upper limit you want to see at any time.

With my edge on 2 (tow setting) 36ft gooseneck and 125hp kubota i only saw hig 1000's low 1100's.

 

Depending on load and the DPF cleaning routine, you will see as high as 1400°F. Under load however it will be less. Now you will know when its going into DPF Regen as you will be towing along at about 8-900°F and then it will take off to 1400°F for up to 20 minutes.

 

Your right, forgot to take the emmisions equipment into consideration.

The numbers I stated are on the Chrysler UnApproved High Flow System.

 

Heheh.. I am not in that league yet.. Will be soon however.

 

Must be a MegaCab thang......mine fell off as well; I also see about the same EGT's , too.

wont the temp be different depending on if he has the probe mounted pre or post turbo.

 

That is correct. If it is post turbo instead or pre, the gauge will read lower temps.

 

Yes those readings are correct. But Mine now after the delete are 700-750 70 mph no load before i didnt see much below 900
