wolfe10 Report post Posted August 16, 2015 Bill, I do not believe so. Would require a sender unit mounted in the exhaust. But., with a stock engine, EGT is not going to be an issue. Now, if you have "tuned it" (read added more fuel), EGT is certainly something you need to monitor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wildebill308 Report post Posted August 16, 2015 I have heard that "with a stock engine, EGT is not going to be an issue" from several people, so on the last trip I set my tuner to 1 which is the stock tune from Cummins. Running in the hills in eastern Tennessee I was seeing quite high temps up to 1400 degrees briefly. That is warmer than I like. I have a warning buzzer set at 1375 in case I don't notice temps climbing. I have a Banks IQ and am running a Banks Economind diesel tuner with their pyrometer to monitor exhaust temps. I think if you don't have a good pyrometer to monitor exhaust temps you are probably running hotter than you think. Bill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jleamont Report post Posted August 17, 2015 It's tough to put your head around having to manually shift an automatic when pulling a hill, but it is a reality for the coach to perform properly. One thought to keep in mind let the engine/turbo cool (idle for 5-12 minutes) after pulling a hill before shutting it down, high EGT's with an engine shut off is not good for anything. Someday I will install a pyrometer on this coach, I have replaced to many turbos that failed due to driver execution long before their time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
