Question about 2011Cummins

[bigcntry13]

I have a 2011 Ram 3500 DRW. Pulling the Voltage 3605 home this weekend from the lake was hitting approx 1300 to 1400 on EGTs occassionally. Maintained about 1100 or 1200 consistantly. Truck is completely stock. I"m guessing these egts are ok since it is stock but was curious what others thought. Truck pulled very well. This is the first trip pulling with this truck. Always was pulled with a 2500 duramax previously.

Just don't stay in tht 1400 degree range for too long. Once I installed before and after EGT gages, I no longer drive by rpm - purely by EGT. Not sure on the 6.7 but on my 5.9, a Banks intercooler and a Smarty Jr drop my EGT dramatically. About a 250 degree average drop thru the powerband.

On my old 2000 F350, the turbocharger started to melt around 1400 degrees, and I never let it get that high. 1250 was about the highest I ever saw, but that was the 7.3 powerstroke.

The newer VGT on the 6.7 is more susceptible to oil burning issues that the Holset 351 on the 5.9, so more research is well advised as to max EGT and duration...
