Sorry for my lack of lingo but am I correct when I say the pipe with the 4 bolts that the turbo sits on top of is the down pipe? Like I said before this is all new to me!
The down pipe is the pipe that connects to the rest of the exhaust and flows out to the back of the pickup.Sorry for my lack of lingo but am I correct when I say the pipe with the 4 bolts that the turbo sits on top of is the down pipe? Like I said before this is all new to me!

I've been told that when you're towing with the e4od, you should lock out the overdrive. I've always done that, and never regretted it.
Yes that will give you more accuracy, and more importantly your numbers will be in the "norm" when you read most info regarding EGT.I just got home from work and looked. The egt sensor is plumbed into what I am assuming is the up pipe going from the manifold into the turbo. Does that give a more accurate reading?

With the probe pre-turbo your EGTs are within reason for pulling/towing/hill climbing. Keep her under 1150 and your engine will stay happy and not have melty pistons!
However if the probe was after the turbo then it's like 950 max safe EGTs so you can see why many of us were concerned earlier about those readings.
Yes. You won't have overdrive and will have to keep the speed down somewhat.Wouldn’t the engine rev high even on flat ground?
By lock out OD, are you saying to keep the shifter in 3 so the tranny can't get to 4th/OD?I've been told that when you're towing with the e4od, you should lock out the overdrive. I've always done that, and never regretted it.
You could, but the easy way is to use the cancel button. On the brick noses, it's on the dash while it's on the end of the shift lever on OBS trucks.By lock out OD, are you saying to keep the shifter in 3 so the tranny can't get to 4th/OD?

The tranny sat in 3rd for what felt like an eternity getting up to over 3000rpm. The boost was reading around 10psi and the pyro was around 1000-1100.
+1 on do not tow in od,
flat\downhill maybe...
