I have an 06 duramax with edge juice w/ attitude tuner 4 inch exhaust, turbo down pipe, banks air intake and a full bore exhaust manifold on the driver side.
My question is should I be concerned about EGT temps of 1050 while towing a camper or bobcat?

as long as you dont have it cranked anything over setting 2 i would watch your egts.

I wouldn't worry about it unless you start holding around 1200 for long periods.

Garrett GT3788VA turbos are rated for 1350 degrees constant duty and can hold 1600 degrees for up to 45 seconds.

I gotta find that spec sheet again so people don't think I'm screwin' with them....

Not sure what you mean by this...I've only seen turbos have a hp rating. High egts will kill pistons, no way would I stay in it for 45 seconds with 1600*.

1100 is not high egts my truck towing a 5er is around 900-1100 all the time towing.

i will see up to 1100 to 1150 with no load going up a long grade or hill on level 3 on my edge evo race.. i definatly wouldnt wanna run anything but level one while towing

Thanks for your replies, I wont be to worried then.

I found a spec sheet a while back. Dont remember where I put it though. I wouldnt to comfortable with it either but guys bury a 2000 degree pyrometer by the 1/8th and keep going with many passes and have no issues.

The "ratings" that he posted are to guide one on how long they can sustain certain temperatures until you start doing damage/melting the turbo.

They, just like the "horsepower ratings," are just guidelines though and should be taken with a grain of salt.

Is 2000* safe? Ceretainly not. Have I done it? Yeah, did it do any damage? No.

1000* towing is just fine. BD manifold doesnt do anything for EGT's, towing on astock setting will though.

To the OP, you are talking pre turbo, right? Your not one of those guys that has probe in the down pipe?

^ this guy actually knows what he is talking about.

 

[Hondarider552]

No I don't I just use a dictionary and word placement to sound like I do.


Thanks though.

lol brian.....you should be almost the resident expert on EGT's & trans fluid changes

I run the PPE hot +2 on level 3 when pulling over 10k lbs and reach up to 1400 but can maintain 1000 when the idiots in front of me learn how to drive. I noticed that no one asked where your pyrometer probe is installed. Gauge readings can be up to about 400 degrees different.

 

[MudDoc]

^ yeah someone asked him where it was installed...but he never answered yet

 

[blockhead duramax]

The probe is in the driver side exhaust manifold.

 

[adeso]

You should be good-esp if you back off every so often-I don't know about the Dmax, but my experience had been that wear on a engine is from both temp and duration so running a little hot isn’t so bad if you back off every now and then. read going up a hill at temp X is ok, but pulling a high profile trailer 80mph for 4 hours at the same time X not so much.

 

[bobnjas]

Is there not a site that lists Duramax factory settings for EGT, Trans, Engine, etc?
