Normal EGT temps

[tsolson]

Hi,

I had MommaBurt reprogram my CM870 this spring after i had some turbo issues. It had been deleted by the previous owner. I changed the turbo air control module, had the new one fail, and got another one from Cummins on warranty. Much thanks to Chamberpains, Mommaburt, Rawze for all your help and expertise.

I was just wondering what my EGT should run at "normally" ? right now i'm running a pyro gauge in the pipe after the turbo that came stock in the truck, and i installed a glowshift gauge like rawze showed on the manifold. The temp in the pipe seems to run 6-800F when I'm not loaded and maybe up 7-900 loaded. The temp on the manifold usually sits a 300F, and occasionally will get up to 400F, usually after I slow down off the highway. I'm assuming it's beacuse of the reduced airflow. I'm just wondering if this is too hot, or is it normal for demandated truck?
