Exhaust gas temperature and towing
My 2004 Ram has 325 horse and 600 ft-lb of torque. I find myself bumping 1,300 degrees of EGT before I max my power capability. I like to keep it below 1,300 so I slow down as I have already geared down to get the revs up. I am towing 10,000# and am talking about grade work.
Do the new trucks with large torque numbers have technology to keep the EGT down? Do they come with pyrometers?
Do you members with the heavy loads monitor your exhaust gas temperatures or am I being overly cautious?
