Installed the Commander today, really like it.![Smile](https://dodgeforum.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif)
Could you guys reccomend answers to the following as to what the max should be for regular driving and not massive towing:![EEK!](https://dodgeforum.com/forum/images/smilies/eek.gif)
Max EGT
Max Tranny temp
Min fuel pressure
Max Coolant temp
As I can set de-fuelling and warnings on the parameters I set on the Commander.![Wink](https://dodgeforum.com/forum/images/smilies/wink.gif)
Thanks

As I have a 12 Valve, fuel pressure is not a problem, so I don't have any idea, but as for the Max EGT, my research says 1,350 Deg F. Max. and try to keep long-term EGT's below 1,300. *NOTE* I have even seen that temps. of up to 1,500 Deg. for a second or two is OK, but I sure would not risk it.
Max Transmission Temperature should be below 250 Deg. F. It is even better if you can keep it below 200 Deg. F. Trans. Temp. depends on how much slip you have, I have a Lock UP Controller and A deep finned Al. pan, so my transmission temp. generally runs 140-160 Deg. F. The highest I have seen is 220 when cought in Bumper to Bumper stop and go traffic for 10-15 min. on a hot, (100+), summer day Somewhere on this or another Dodge Diesel forum, there is a graph of usefull transmission fluid milage verses temperature. High temperatures sure make a BIG difference in trans. fluid life / Transmission/Torque Converter life.
Again I am not sure about Coolent temp. I just know that my temp. guage only gets up to just under the top of the normal range when pulling a long grade towing 7,000 lbs. in 100+ Deg. Summer day temps.
