egt's
 
just installed guages last w/e and was surprised at how high the egt's were. I can hit 15-1600 no problem , not even pullin anything. going to pulling a 34' 5th wheel through the rockies all summer is this going to be an issue? I'd like to get some idea what egt's you guys would consider normal, I always thought 1250 was alright but would get out of the throttle if it got much higher than that.thanks in advance

truck is bone stock except guages. pyro/boost/trans temp

that's probably normal for bone stock since the air and fuel is so restrictive. You need to open up the exhaust some and let her breath !. Try a cat back system and a good CAI. That should help bring them down a little.

Where did you install the pyro probe at ? Between the 3rd and 4th cylinders is the optimal place. If they're close the 5 or 6, you will see much higher readings as those cylinders run hotter.

I feel your pain, I was there ALMOST, but have added the CAI and Turbo back exhust ( cat delete) and the gauges, I pull at times 13500lbs and have never seen temps much over 12, it will go higher for sure, but that is when the foot comes off a bit and keeps it in line.
Youe 15-16 is way to hot, almost rad hot in there for sure.

I could understand these temps if I threw a bunch of power at it without opening up intake/exhaust, but I'd think it would run cooler stock.

Where did you mount the EGT probe, before or after the turbo?

RE: egt's
 
probe is mounted pre-turbo. in manifold where it comes down into the turbo I believe it's between #4 & 5

make sure probe tip/endis not mounted to deep,or to close,or touching wall of manifold.
