My pyro is after the turbo, what temp is the highest you want it to say when you kill it?

 

First you need to move it... Just saying, its doing you no good there...

As far as a shut down temp, 350 or so is more then fine... Keep in mind there are a million + trucks out there and 95% of them do not have a pyro at all, get run hard and shut off the second they pull up to the house.

I wait until 400 most times, but if I am just tooling around town and have not been running it hard I will not even look at the pyro.

 

Yeah I know, havent had a chance to move it yet, got it that way. It is supposed to be on the manifold right, where, is there already a port somewhere? There may be a million+ that do that crap but that dont make it right, dont know what the truck got before me but I havent shut it down hotter than 375 yet. I also live in a quiet neighborhood so it has plenty of time to cool down before I make it back to my house. Was just wondering because it cools to 400 pretty quick but much below that takes a few min.

 

My normal is *300 (my magic number as the wife puts it) for shutdown

 

Mine wont get down to 300, 350 is as low as she will go.

 

Most of your shut down talk is from old wifes tales... Newer oils do not coke the way old ones did. Anywhere below 350-400* and your fine. Like I said before there are MILLIONS of these trucks and motors out there with no Pyros that get used hard, pull up to the 7-11 and shut off.

Most times I allow my truck to "settle" down and then I turn it off, EGT's are about 350-400* at that point.

 

Mine will sit around *260 after startup and it's warm. My pyro is in the exhaust manifold. It takes 2-4 minutes from 340 down to 300, but it'll do it. When I worked on the larger engines (Colt-Pielstick, Paxman, ect.), we always idled to *250 before shutdown. That old habit is part of the reason I do it now.
