I have an 06 LBZ Duramax with about 45000 miles on it what is a safe EGT. I have EFI Live and when i get into it from 50 by the time i hit 110 im at about 1480 is that safe?
NO, its not safe driving at 110mph with a HD truck.I have an 06 LBZ Duramax with about 45000 miles on it what is a safe EGT. I have EFI Live and when i get into it from 50 by the time i hit 110 im at about 1480 is that safe?
Just keep it below a bazillion degrees and you should be ok.

1350* on the hot side (pre-turbo)...1150* cold side (post turbo)
That temp for short times would be fine. Do not attempt to run for sustained times or you will doing a little engine repair. I see 1800's but will only do it for 1/4 mile type runs.
Thanks for the technical post Chris, you really helped the OP on this one
GM says the Duramax is designed to run for extended periods at 1300 or 1350* (one of the two). And I think up around 1450 or something for short bursts. Something like that. But people run them way way hotter and have been holding, others have been doing the same and melt pistons or blow a hole through them.
Those egts are normal for decent tune full tilt down the freeway . Most are seeing even higher egts than that . I dont think your going to hurt anything doing that .
You wouldnt want to see my egt gauge . It would make your butt pucker .
You are the guy they invented the 2000° pyro for. :angel:
Garrett says 1350 sustained, 1450 for up to 5 minutes. Nice having water cooled turbos.
I have an ATS hot+2, ported FPR, EGR blocker, LBZ mouthpiece, lift pump, stock exhaust minus cat and muffler. LLY engine. On level four I am getting 30lbs boost, and around 95-100 the egts are around 1400 if I hold longer they will go to 1600 and I stop accelerating. What can I do tuning or minor mod wise to get them lower?
No I think they invented 2500* pyros for him. He pegs 2000* like most people peg 1500.
