EGT Gauges

[caleb400]

Love my new setup 250 with complete delete thanks Spartan Diesel but im conserend with my egt read out it doest ever get hot even at wot. The edge I had on before was always up and down I havent seen this one read out above 700 I know the deletes help but is it that much? Ive got cat sensors one and two both on dispay and they stay similar just want to keep my motor together thanks.

Are you using EGRTA for the readings? Also which firmware is your unit running. Should be 1303. Mine gets up pretty hot when I get on it, with the 210 it would defuel at 1425-1450. With the 250, the highest I've seen is around 1450, then I let off the throttle....

I agree with mick, At first I had the wrong gauge. Now I Have it set to EGRTA for the readings and it runs about 400 idle to 1200-1400 . It was explained to me that that reading is the preboost temp.

EGRTA (pre-turbo EGT) is the way you want to go. The EGT sensors you are monitoring are in your exhaust where the CAT and DPF used to be...they are not the critical parameters you want to see.

For some reason I cant get the EGRTA gauge to come up, I have the "D" ford specific and I was told by a friend I need the "A" ford specific, i was wondering how I get these. Any help would be awesome!

Thanks!!

When you did the signal scan did you find 285 Ford and 26 generic. If not you will need to make some change.

If not, send me a PM and I'll send you my cell number

Also, it shouldn't matter if it's A Ford Specific, or D. Mine was out of wack for a long time, but

it can be changed, if you want it that way...
