Beagle, I just picked up a 2016 F-350 Dually with the 6.7 engine and would like to monitor EGTs. How do you do this? I can't find an EGT display in the truck's display system. Thanks
You can get an Edge or other dedicated device, some of them allow manually starting a regen which might be occasionally convenient. Torque Pro seems highly featured (Android only). I use ForeScan Lite on an iPhone 6+, I believe versions exist for Android as well. These solutions require an OBD scanner, cheap ones are in the $10 - 20 range, good ones cost more like $80. The apps are cheap, like $5.
The advantage ForeScan has for a Ford, is that it is written and maintained as a Ford specific application so it already interprets all of the PIDs etc. from the ODB port. Torque Pro requires configuration, there are some resources on the web to give you a head start. ForeScan is plug and play pretty much. It allows capturing the data being monitored as a CSV file which can then be massaged in Excel, which is what I did to create the graph above.
All of them allow reading out the check engine trouble codes (and resetting them) which can save you $100 at the dealer.
