Gauges Guidance

[Nero]

While I understand your argument... I would like to see egt numbers on a stock 6.9/7.3, for science.

I have an EGT gauge on my stock 7.3 NA. You never know whether a previous owner has turned the pump up, or if the timing could be off causing high EGTs. To me it’s a peace of mind thing, like an oil pressure gauge.

EGTs / Coolant temp / Trans temp (Auto only) / oil pressure

Yes you need to run power to the gauges separate from tapping into the relay for your running lights

You must be registered for see images attach

No problem for me. No one has ever tampered with my IP

An EGT gauge is highly recommended for an N/A Engine. Members on here have found the N/A’s are MUCH easier to get temps high very easily. Even in stock tuning, the N/A’s run on the edge all the time. Less air, which not only hurts the combustion process, but that air also helps to “cool” (by moving more air through the system and taking that heat with it) the EGT’s.

Digging back in the archives, you can find posts abut this. Even in 100% stock tuning, you can melt one down. I would say any Diesel engine needs a Pyro…. Even the newer trucks (computer controlled) will keep an eye on EGT’s…. Even if they don’t display them….

Just dropped some dough on a set of glowshifts. Oil, temp and EGT

One of us. One of us. Haha I love my glowshift gauges.
