with all this talk about gages and mainly EGT's hitting 1300-1500* with mildly tuned trucks it has got me wondering, is my autometer egt probe giving me a bad reading because i have never seen over 1150* more then once or twice and with my mods and my stock turbo it seems that i should be able to dang near peg the 1600* pyro

 

How hard do you beat on it?

 

I have the same issue, I don't beat mine bad, but still I can't get it over 1300* even with the trailer. Even if I drive hard. WOT from third gear to 75 nets me about 900* I don't know if my timing could help that much... I am starting to loose faith in mine because it take so long to warm up/respond.

I replaced the whople thing, still no real change. I think it may be a little better, but not much, if any.

 

pre or post turbo?

 

Pre Turbo, located according to the TST instructions. Not touching the divider, or bottoming out...

 

I have Isspro gauges, and my pyrometer responds almost immediately. After I start the engine, in less than about two seconds it reads 250-300. If I floor it, it follows the tach right up there to about 11-1200. A few weeks ago I saw a thread about Autometer getting a bad batch of probes, did you just install your gauge?

 

CumminsFreak what are your temps at idle?

 

First one went in in March, the new one was installed in the past few weeks.

 

probe is pre turbo and on the #6 side.

i dont beat it very hard seeings as i still have a stock turbo and trans.

and as for idel temp i'll have to look but im going to guess around 200 or less but more then 150

 

My idle is 150*, barely...

 

wow. i idle at 250-275.

 

Thats why I am thinking I just want to get some new (to me) gauges

 

DT,
Just ordered a new probe, amp, and gauge. We'll see what happens.

I hope they work better than my new ones...

 

lol im workin on it
