Hi every body I need some some diesel advice.I have a 2005 commiins with a edgewith atitude mbr duell exhaust and a bruteforce air intake truck runs great but i find my egt climb quicklyto 1300deg even when i am on the #1 setting can eny one please tell me what is the max egt i can go to and keep thing safe.The exhaust prob is tap in to the manifold where the edge instructions show it should be Iam geting my readings from the edge monitor.THANK YOU

 

at least 15 typo's make the post a little difficult to read. for starters...its a cummins. 1300 is pretty high for the first level. have you tried to turn it up and take advantage of possibly more timing or post? what are your boost numbers? what are you doing to get to 1300?...drag racing, towing or just driving? fill out your sig too

brett

 

Sorry for the typo's some times my finger don,t do what i wont them to do .OLD AGE. Temp comes up when passing at hwy speeds Climbing hills while towing my car trailer.the turbo boost has gone as hi as 40psi I don't race my CUMMINS lol i have a car for that.ps this is my first post ever please be patient.Thank you

 

Adjust your right foot as you see the temps going up while climbing hills.

 

you should be able to set the fueling in the edge options to your likings. 1300 is pretty high for level 1 power.

My EGT's never get over 1000 with my box off and never over 1100 with it on the low setting 70hp. But my box is a little different than yours.

And Welcome to the Diesel Truck Resource.

 

THANK guys for your input .Today i installed a new edge and what a differents it made. It performs better runs better and the trany shifts better the EGT are lower on settings 1&2 but still get up there on3.4.5 I still havent found any one that can tell me WHAT IS THE MAX EGT A CUMMINS CAN RUN SAFELY AT.But i did find someone that can spell.

 

1250 is the majic number.

 

2stroke your the man THANK YOU.

 

OK - Rod has a HPCR in his 3rd Gen truck, so that means the piston alloy used and the oil cooling jets under the piston crowns (not to mention the emissions-friendly retarded timing, etc.) will allow much higher EGTs to be safely run.

I wouldn't go over 1400*F for extended periods, such as towing; and wouldn't worry about short excursions to 1600*F - like you'd observe in drag racing or sled pulling.

 

i touch 1400 stock towing my trailer up hills maybe

 

Thanks guys this is my first diesel truck so a lot of this stuff is new to me . I do appreciate any and all the info i can get thanks again.
