pyro temp

[armyenterprise]

I just installed a 3 glowshift gauges all by my dame self not to bad for a dumb grunt huh. My question is what are the normal temp I should be getting on a trans pyro boost

Pyro (EGT): just running around unloaded 600*-900*, pulling a trailer up the grade or playing "hot rod" back out of it at 1250*. Before you shut off the truck let it idle with AC off until your temp gets down to 350*-375*. You don't want to shut down the truck with a hot turbo.

Trans: 90*-140* running around unloaded, pulling a trailer up the grade you want to keep it under 200*, if you can't keep it under 200* you need to add more cooling like a deep pan and or another/bigger cooler.

Boost: you will see up to 30-35psi just depends on how hard you are pulling or how much throttle you use. Just running down the freeway unloaded you will see around 10psi until you get on it. I would not want to see more than 35psi with the stock intercooler and boots.

FYI, that is way too high for a stock 6.0. Should never be over 30, and most will not go above 28-29#. Some max out around 25-26#.

My 6.0 is in the 25# range for max boost, for what it's worth. :cheers444:

I've seen 70 when it's not broken

[dezzrats]

30 psi maybe a little more with the right tune, If you get to 35 it will set overboost code.

I would see half that with mine
