Using the EGT stock factory sensor on my 2014 Chevy Duramax 2500HD, what kind of temperature readings should I see ?

It depends on how you are driving and if you are pulling a trailer. The high numbers will be around 1200-1350 and the hightest

as long as all emissions are intact- yes you can pull egts off of sensor! thanks

If your talking about the Exhaust Gas Temperature gauge, you shouldn't need one if your just going to drive it as a daily driver or pull light to medium loads on stage 1. I just run stage 2 and I don't have any problems. Unless your going to be hammering it all the time on stage 3, racing, or pulling very heavy loads on stage 2 or 3(which is not advised), you shouldn't need an EGT gauge. My buddy has gauges with a similar programmer and even when he turns it up, his EGT's aren't anything to worry about. I have a 2001 ex cab short bed 7.3 with 176k and this programmer added an unreal amount of power. I try to keep my foot off the pedal but when you want to go it is very nice to have. I hope this answers your question.

oOn my Toyota the heated sensor is the rear one. Heated sesors have 4 wires, others have 2. Lee

I didn't try. I'm not sure it even does read out Ferenheit temps. I just converted the F temps I wanted to C to acheive the desired results. Sorry...

Hello! That was the same reason I replaced mine- it worked fine, but the buttons were wearing out. I looked in the service manual and is says that it needs to be programmed, but I installed it and it seems to work fine without any programming. As a side benefit, my vehicle already shows the external temp in the DIC above the gauges, so it does not display it on the HVAC module screen from the factory. After replacing the factory module with the one I bought here, the external temp now shows on the HVAC screen (and still in the DIC). I kinda like it! I suspect that if I were to program the module, it would turn off the feature. Anyways- in my case it worked fine out of the box! Hello!

This is an upstream sensor. It has a short cable and special plug that fits Nissan upstream connectors. The cable is also thick because of the high temperature of the manifold.

I use the factory sensors in my 15' 3500.Just remember those sensors are futher down stream before and after the DEF. If you plan on using any setting over the tow mode you might want to install a probe into the passenger side exhaust manifold.

I doubt the IR sensor can be adjusted. If all T-stats are the same brand, consider that the IR device just might be the correct one. While T-stats are sensing air temp against the wall, and the IR device is detecting surfaces, it's bound to be slightly different. Try aiming the IR gun to measure the temp of the bottom of the T-stat housing. Readings closer now?

Fairly accurate, have not checked it with anything else. The airflow will not effect the sensor as it is in the coolant.

Sam: My came with the EGT sensor that has the lead that plugs into the wire harness. It also came with the display which fits into the plastic housing that fastens to the dash with adhesive velcro. I guess that's the gauge pod. It looks just like the picture. The instructions are easy to follow. The only thing I needed to provide was the drill and tap to install the EGT sesor. Be sure to wear safety glasses. Shouldn't take more than an hour to install for the first time. If you do a second one will take you 15 - 20 minutes.

Yes, the EGT probe is included with part number 15003Thanks and let me know if we can assistLloyd TunerTools

I installed this in my 2003 F250D. It does require the installation of the temperature sensor in a location at the front of the vehicle which I did in the small grill opening just left of the main grill and running wireing behind the dash panel to tie into a power source and also up behind the windshield trim and headliner. I hope this information is helpful.

chevy 305 engine, just removed old sensor on left side head and temp guage has a copper screw end , just screw it into head and discard old sensor and tuck the old wire out of the way.

It is supposed to be factory set at 165 F how accurate that is is hard to tell. Let unit heat up for 30min and use a thermometer to check running temp

You should be able to use the factory sensor, but we always recommend purchasing a new probe to be on the safe side.

I have a 1997 E350 12 passenger van with E4OD/4R100 trans. You will need a length of 18 gauge wire to run from the sensor to the gauge. I installed my sensor in the test port on the driver's side of the transmission, just above the pan near the shifter linkage. Use a bit of teflon paste on the threads. Brass and aluminum expand and retract at different rates. After about 3000 miles of hot and cold, my sensor worked loose and started leaking. Don't use too much paste because the sensor grounds through the transmission case. I tapped into my stereo wiring for the gauge install-accessory power for the gauge and dimmer wire for the light bulb. I just pulled a 27ft travel trailer from Idaho to Missouri and back and the gauge never went over 185"F. Good luck with your install.
