HOW TO KEEP E.G.Ts RUNNING COOL WHILE TOWING HEAVY WITH double DELETED 6.7 CUMMINS

[@christopherjilek5467]

One of the reasons I like this channel is because you use your trucks to pay your bills, not haul your ego. I do the same, and have a ton of respect for those of us that depend on these trucks every day. Your information is very helpful, and any advice you can give that helps make a truck last longer with fewer break downs is advice worth taking.

[@DonkeyGap750K3Gixxer]

I’m a seasoned(49 yrs old) Mobile Diesel Mechanic w/my own small business here in Conroe Tx & your concern about high egt’s is more than legit!Letting any diesel breathe freely in & out w/great tuning will bring loads of efficiency-i suspect as time goes on technology will allow for everyone of us that wants run lower egt’s under demanding loads to do it fairly easily -I’m a Diesel nerd so your videos really peak my interest.Thanks for your time brother

[@gregoryunderwood4121]

Sam, personally, I love it when you do technical videos on heavy towing, and how your different trucks are set up and running. For those haters and the ones that simply don't understand that your trucks (along with the other equipment) are your living and not some hot rod that daddy bought them to tearing around town in and showing off. Take care of your truck(or car) and it'll take care of you.

[@mattwarner6599]

Great video!!! I tow a 38' fifth wheel toy hauler that has gvwr of 19k. Nothing like what you are towing but have experienced some radical climbs like on highway 70 coming up to the Eisenhower tunnel to come into Denver. A couple of times I had to touch 1400° for a few seconds and then was able to back off to cool it down. Cummins states that they engineer their engines to hold 1500° but I totally agree with you. Getting up to 1300° makes me start to get concerned. Again, thanks for your videos.

[@chrisschomber8872]

Very good tutorial for us who treasure your experience. I’m 55 and I’m here to tell you that the best thing to do is listen and learn. I bought myself a diesel in May. I have much to learn. Thanks for all your videos. Chris

[@TheBragdon]

Nice to see someone making a video of what these trucks are actually made for and the proper way to keep them running better and longer. Hats off to ya, excellent video and knowledge taken.

[@VBELTandSON]

Thank you I appreciate that

[@danieltilton9836]

I’ve been bouncing around watching videos on 3rd gen Cummins and this has been the only one I’ve watched that was worth watching and actually teaches something worth learning I have a 06 dully and only had it for few months so always taking time to learn new things about em and how to take good care of them. All the other guys I’ve watched on here don’t really teach how to take care of them just how to run em in the ground

[@VBELTandSON]

Thank you I appreciate that. I like my rigs to last 💪🏻

[@alwprecisionshooters4757]

Your video was excellent! So much great info and I appreciate you putting this together. I have an 07 5.9 with 113k miles, full built Auto Transmission, EFI Live, Airbox, and slightly baffled 4” exhaust. I tow a 10k camper, so I would guess I am 12k fully loaded…not anywhere close to what you are towing. So glad to watch your video and know I am well within range on my EGT’s when towing. I hit 1100 on big hills, and on a few occasions, I may hit 1200 but I always try and stay below that. If I am half way up a hill and already approaching 1200, I will downshift to bring those temps back down. The key info I take from your video is 1200 isn’t the melting point like I always thought. If you are hitting 1300 on occasion, I feel better about just hitting 1200 once in a while. Thanks again for a great video and valuable info! I only wish I had watched your video a long time ago. 👍

[@thomasdesmond2248]

You are a smart man. I am a master machinist. Exhaust Gas Temperature is very important and anything above 1300 degrees you will overheat thr oil, burn up turbo and Engine bearings. Even in a stock truck an EGT gauge is a great idea. A great tune should deliver power with fuel efficiency. Like you said brother dumping fuel doesn't get great results. Loved the video and God bless.

[@rockingkvideos3160]

You are doing a great job with your content. You have a good mix of video skills, information and humor. I am new to the KZbin world and dove in when I bought the ranch in 2016 with questions about how to install erosion control, French drains, hydraulic lift for a dump and a host of other DIY projects. This led me to your channel. I like the fact that you are respectful, polite and well spoken and my first reaction and comment was about your relationship with your father and how proud he must be of the grown up you have become. I lost my dad a few years ago and miss him dearly, he raised me to work hard, work smart and never stop learning from others. I’ve thought about starting a KZbin channel to document my retirement, the Ranch project, the Farmhouse project and all that changes when you go from 40 years of work to where I’m at now. I am thin skinned and don’t deal with haters very well, so I don’t think I could handle that part of the many parts and pieces of building a channel. I enjoy and appreciate what you bring to KZbin, keep it up Sam👍👍👍

[@unknownbikes5178]

I have a CCLB 3rd gen 6 speed and about build an engine for gas mileage, towing, and a once in a while, 700hp bet the zo6 vette. I really want a reliable lifelong truck. Didn't realize grunting down, in the lower rpms raised EGTs. Great informative video. Much obliged, live blessed. J swap Jason.

[@deltawhiskey9619]

Thanks, watched Greg A tow with new compound setup and didn’t talk about EGT. More RPM=lower EGT, more coolant flow, more oil pressure!

[@TreachourusJdogg]

He addressed them right after doing the compound setup, it was right around 1000 under decent acceleration without a trailer.. I can only imagine what he was seeing pulling the big enclosed with the 05 in the back. But I believe you are right. I don't think he ever said anything while towing.

[@Kallaus_built]

I love to tow heavy with my g56 truck and your videos help out so much. Best Cummins channel on youtube

[@VBELTandSON]

thank you! means alot

[@willyck948]

thanks for the info. I wouldn't have guessed dropping a gear would reduce EGT as it's opposite of what I would have thought.

[@connormcgovern1585]

This is some straight Diesel Wisdom that you don't get unless You've seen the inside of your local engine shop! Everything you said is 100% factual and these people got to stop blowing these trucks up. Look at these motors you got to downshift keep those RPMs up and the fluids moving. Safe holding temp 1250° Maximum brief temperature spikes 1400°

[@kenwilson7951]

I live in Rocky's at 10 thousand feet people come and burn their truck up bragging about pulling mountain in high gear . As soon as I aproch 1200 I drop a gear. Great video!

[@justsaynrush9689]

Totally agree, when I hit 1150 I start getting nervous. RPM is definitely your friend when towing. Methanol injection and knowing how and when to use it helps a lot. I run about 85% water and I don't over use it.

[@jerrythechainsawguy8100]

Great information. Man, I wish more people would listen to this. I’m a tech, and a lot of burned up motors could be avoided!!

[@kylegodderidge2049]

I watched this video when it was first uploaded, and I just watched it again. I will say it is very refreshing to see someone post a video and tell people if they don't like the content to pack their stuff and leave. Thanks Sam, I appreciate the genuine content, and will be a subscriber for life!

[@UnchartedJourney1]

Just came across this video.. definitely clarified things. I definitely getting a EGT guage since my head is warped and I'm spending 4k on getting it all fixed... we full-time RV with a 12000lb travel trailer. Our truck is a 2012 Ram 2500HO 6.7L Cummins with a EFI LIVE.

[@dodgeman4046]

Good info I've been towing a long time and had to figure these things out on my own. Good for you helping the guys new to towing

[@jeffsowers1290]

I just got a 17 3500 looking for info to build a truck to pull 25000 pounds all the time looking at getting a compound setup just for egts and things you recommend not really concerned about price as much as getting home this is the first real video that has show me what I am looking for a real working truck not something just to burn the tires off and roll coal

[@dennisgt479]

I got a 2008 ram 6.7 deleted, tow with no extra power, I generally stay under 1300, if I hit 1350 I’ll back off the go pedal or drop a gear. I’ve got 300,000+ on it so far, haven’t touched the motor except 2 water pumps. Cheers.

[@jonathanthomsen7218]

And I do like this channel better then the other one where hes got all race trucks. You do an awesome jobs on the videos, I look for the new one every day and sit and watch

[@VBELTandSON]

[@scottryan492]

Great video Sam!! Don't worry about the haters. There are plenty of us out here that appreciate what you do and want to learn. I very much enjoy your videos and you do a great job with them. Good on you brother!!

[@garyhedrick9498]

Really appreciate the content, I have a square body suburban with a 12 valve swap and just installed my EGT , Trans, and boost gauges and was glad to come across your topic . I hitch tow a 35’ camper, not the weights you tow ha ha, but it’s 7900 dry and really needed to know how to react when my Auto trans decides to shift and when I should change the parameters on my trans controller for towing . Thanks!

[@brentmcmahon8188]

Iam a retired car hauler for GM and when I was 23 an old mechanic told me there are two things that will kill a diesel heat and rpm’s and I have never went over 2200rpms you take the big truck motors are set at 2150rpm so that’s how I roll and 68 and second new Dodge 3500 dullay 4x4 6 speed manual and I bought it new in 05 and has been a great truck 150 K on the clock only up grades one piece rear alum driveshaft fuel filtration and a Fleece intank lift pump.

I’ve hit 1350 in my 03 5.9 with turbo upgrade and tunes made Me nervous, comfortable with 1100-1200 pulling a hill, I’m only towing 13k rv 5th wheel, just need to know your truck and how to drive it, good video Sam keep them coming

[@tquick648]

Love the knowledge videos man. One thing ive learned in years of pro mod drag racing with big multiple system nitrous tunes, knowledge isn't free, nor is it cheap.

[@brentmcmahon8188]

My 92 Dodge 2500 5 speed manual and we went out west in the mountains my water temp would run at 1/4 and I would down shift at the 1/2 mark and the temp would just fall to 1/4 and that’s how I did it back in the day and it worked perfectly at that shift point and got 185 K before I bought my 05 Dodge with a 6 speed manual and temp doesn’t work as good so I run a EGT gauge and I would down shift at 1200 degrees and it would drop like crazy and worked for me .

[@dodgedude908]

For new tuning, since you already got EFI Live I’d recommend tuning by CTT (used to be HPP and Calibrated Addiction before they merged). It’s who I’m gonna be going with when I switch from the Mini Maxx I’m currently running

[@whitef250powerstroke]

I was taught by an old trucker that the right gear for the hill is the one where you still have pedal left and can gain speed if you need to

[@briancogswell7236]

love the info this guy gives. he has helped me so many times when im having trouble with my $pit 12 valve. keep up the good info vids man

[@dannylamb4890]

Glad I found your channel! I drove truck for 50 years, the temperatures were simple. Water temperature going up, oil pressure dropping you better get out of it. I never watched the pyro. The manifold pressure was my go to. Anyway I don't savvy thi.but new wording for the same things. Also I just watched your video on egt`s. I have a deleted 6.7 cummins and sometimes I get pretty heavy..30-40 k. The guy that tuned my truck said not to go over 1400. You say 1200. That's a big difference. I just bought a new travel trailer that's going to put me north of 31k.??? I'm also concerned about the tyranny. Please give me some real numbers to go by on these ram's. Mine was super gutless till I got it deleted at 80k. Happy now. Except they keep sending me more things to download...I don't know if I want to it runs real good. Sorry got caught up in the moment.

[@TreachourusJdogg]

Thanks for the info, Sam. Your experience really makes you knowledgeable on the subject! My biggest concern in my truck is RPM. I have an 04 Cummins with an auto tranny, idk what gears it has but on 35s it runs about 2200-2300 rpm at 60 and over 2500rpm around 70. This is my first diesel so I am paranoid, but I'd be lying if I said I don't normally set the cruise right at 60 and slowly make my way down the highway.

[@MitchellH79]

Love the videos... Keep up the great work, Sam! I have a 2013 5500 Deleted and a 2014 Deleted. The 13 doesn’t have an egt probe yet. The 14 runs high on the EGTs. I think some of it is the gearing but also the tuning. As you said the engine has plenty of power to get the job done, but pushing it that high on the EGTs can have some major consequences. I prefer to keep them below 1250. When dealing with the Dallas traffic I sometimes don’t pay as close of attention as I should... i have looked over to see it over 1400 before. Once my heart starts beating again I make sure to let up on the throttle &/or force it to downshift. On a regular basis I’ll have between 20-35k behind the truck. Heaviest load we ever actually weighed came in around 54k gross. 5500 pulled it just fine. We run electric/hydraulic brakes on all of our big gneck trailers, which definitely helps bring everything to a stop in a hurry. I would highly recommend paying the extra for that vs all electric brakes IF you are going to be hauling heavy.

[@colbyc.6698]

[@richfarfugnuven6308]

Water methanol, straight pipe, bigger intercooler, vent your hood.

[@AK-ki5kz]

I enjoyed watching this video. It sounds like you are a pretty down-to-earth person. I agree that there is nothing to prove by driving your ego up a hill. I've never agreed with that philosophy. I have a 2010 long box with 550,000 km, 330,000 mi. I have a truck camper that is about 2800 lb that I carry around often and I often tow my 4,000 lb boat while I'm carrying the camper. I also tow a 10,000 lb fifth wheel occasionally. I love my truck very much. It's recently developed a symptom of using engine coolant, but there is nothing in the oil thankfully. I think the turbo is maybe starting to tell me that it needs to be retired. What is your suggestion for a replacement turbo on a deleted 6.7?

[@nateparks9266]

Thanks for that I'm setting up my 03 3500 to tow my big toy hauler more videos on setting up for towing heavy please and thank you 👍

[@karensellars9297]

i agree it is important put simple down shift ,reduces the load probably use less fuel as well not working as hard . Maybe wortha thought i have added a water methanol kit ,it adds power and lowers EGT not sure of whar you have put on but GAIL Banks is the master .If you havnt already added look at the monstar ram will save you from the killer grid heater bolt as well . Garrey From AUSTRALIA diesel fitter 45 years 08 ram 2500 9.8 liter per 100 Ks not towing wont be trading it

Hi Sam. Keep up the good work! I run 4.88 gears same truck but automatic -runs much cooler more pulling power lower down. I tow similar weight daily.

[@John-xb2nl]

Some people lug an engine to save fuel, without realizing they are just building heat and wasting fuel. We used to figure 1200f with the sensor in the manifold, and 900f after the turbo. I suppose newer metallurgy allows a little more heat.

[@zetrut]

On our 05 F550 6.0 I wish I knew what the E.G.T. got too when we towed 24,000 lbs everyday. The truck would be to the floor going up hills near redline by a couple hundred rpms. The turbo would be squealing 😂😂 one day she finally went boom.

[@izzy1831]

Thank you for your video. I had my turbo go bad . And i use to get 400 to 900 egt. Now with a new turbo with vgt. I am getting 1000. To 1300 has been a normal . And i have been grabbing gears. But i went up to 1800 the other day. For 2 seconds. It scared the crud out of me

[@guill1234downey]

I'm not done with this video, and I've already learned something that I couldn't make sense of. I just bought a new diesel truck and added the banks gauges. I was wondering why the egg was climbing when driving on the highway at 70 mph. I now know I have to keep the rpms high. I can't wait to hop on the truck and shift manually to keep the egt temp down.

[@doc_d4566]

You might want to touch on probe placement. I see guys quoting EGT numbers from the stock downstream probes. So there might be some confusion about that. Love the content!

[@backwoodsriders1879]

Less load is less egt. Good video! I was afraid to get my truck over 1300 egt so I always backed out of the throttle until I needed to downshift. I want custom tunes. Just been runnin the box tunes from php on the hydra chip.

[@jimt125]

If you turn on aux fan and radiator will it have a positive effect on EGTS? Your truck is dialed in great. Some guys beat a truck to prove something. I baby my truck cause I like it and appreciate what it does for me. Great video and good knowledge. Say hey to V-BELT and the crew. 👍🏻🇺🇸

[@ashdino2319]

Hey man just watching this video, super helpful information, watched it all the way through love this stile of video keep it up!

[@jamesford2942]

I drove a 1965 Peterbilt with an NT350 Cummins and a twin stick. My eye was always on the pyro. You can only pull the hill with what you have, downshift when you need to. Cooler EGT is the ticket. I tried not to go over 900°. When you keep the turbo spun up and don't over fuel the engine by mashing the throttle to the floor it can be efficient. Rolling coal is for idiots, I would rather burn the fuel inside the engine where it can do some work instead of just making a million mini charcoal brickets.

[@elpoison626]

I recommend the banks cold intake elbow and after market custom manifold and K n N intake filter more so if you have a tuner the better them Cummins breath the better we have never any of them pickups you own what they have under the hood.have you ever considered banks intake charger???

[@localenterprisebroadcastin5971]

The EGT topic seems to be a controversial one…it really depends on several factors…fuel timing, injector size, turbo size, volume of compression, displacement, load on the engine and so forth…a newer 24v common rail will run 1300-1500 safely…a 24v 5.9 VP 44 will run 1200-1400 safely…also EGTs aren’t always the best gauge of internal temps once you start advancing the timing…you can have low EGTs with a heavy fuel advance and be cooking your engine without even knowing it …my old 12v could run 1600 no problem up grades without causing any damage…sold that truck with 400 k and I still see it hauling hay 10 years later around my home town with the same motor 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@VBELTandSON]

Negative the newer trucks are designed to burn even hotter with emissions. 1200 has always been the safe number. New stock engine burn even hotter than that on Reburn Alone

[@jonhoskins1390]

Awesome video buddy . Love videos that give actual facts and lessons learned . 👍

[@tractorboy31]

I know right now im not really worried about egt. Running a 97 f350 7.3ps. I pull a 13k trl grossing 22k. Its a stock 293000 engine with an edge evolution tow tune. Im looking at fixing oil leak cause its getting bad. Then im researching a new turbo setup and ill get a hole drilled for a probe when i have the turbo off. I now have a napa 6637 airfilter and a recent 5 inch exhaust. Trk aint no drag car. Aint supposed to be. I get 12.5 mpg daily best and 8.3 all towing heavy when going on vacation with my trl

[@charlesfuglie2491]

More boost helps the most. Yes down shifting and let it rev helps but it just a reaction to it. More boost helps the egt

[@VBELTandSON]

Another turbo would be nice

[@elpoison626]

Highly recommend an Aurora 3000 VFR turbo what I can see you do work them pickups pretty hard! Like your videos

[@trolling4dollars816]

I really enjoy these technical videos, I am learning so much. I have to admit I have always been a Mopar fan since before I could drive (tired of the ford fanboys)

[@geraldkoth654]

You have to luxury of going slow so you can grab lower gears and keep the revs up. As well because you are going slower you do not have to make as much power. You tow at say 35000 however you are only going 30 or 40 mph. I on the other hand am at 25000 pounds but I am going at 60 mph on a free way. I will be running over 2500 in fourth gear. I would get run over fifty ways from friday if I slowed to 40. I have seen EGTs as high as 1400 to 1500 on long freeway grades. Many many times. Nothing burned up at all. 62000 towing miles later. Over 220000 total miles.

[@brentmcmahon8188]

My 92 12 valve it was easy just watch temp gauge and normal was 1/4 on gauge and when it would get to half way on gauge just drop a gear and it would fall back to 1/4 on water temp gauge and back then we didn’t have all these gauges . So I just went off the water temp gauge and you just had to figure it out. And I was then the only guy in town with Dodge 5.9 and when took muffler off I would have guys chase me down and want to know why my truck sounds so good.

[@JVazquez-e5x]

Appreciate all the info on this video 💯

[@frankd.3985]

Where are you measuring your EGT's at? On my Ford 6.0, I measure them at the back of the left exhaust manifold, and it sounds like you're measuring yours at the exhaust manifold also. Some measure EGT at the downpipe and that'll read a bit lower. I pull a 10,000# 5th wheel, and on an 8% grade I've seen about 1150 steady in 3rd gear at about 3,000 RPM. If I have it in my top tune (45HP) and I floor it getting on an interstate, I'll see temps over 1300 before it gets out of 2nd gear (automatic). BTW I never tow in this setting, I use one of the lower hp tunes, usually about 25hp added. My truck has the EGR blocked and a 5" exhause with a muffler.

[@westonpowell]

Love the videos, wondering what your opinion is on early 3rd gens that don’t have EFI live capability. What tuner do you recommend for towing on one of these trucks? Thanks!

[@VBELTandSON]

Thank you And I like smarty tuners for early stuff

[@scottleggejr]

I'm in Arizona and have a 10k toy hauler all loaded up. I had a 6.0 powerstroke and it would easily do 1500+ EGT on a hot tune with no load. Truck was fun, but not sustainable. I had a mellow 'tow' tune and there were spots where EGT would be around 1400 for a second or so. The problem here is the climbs are long and steep and the ambient temps are insanity. When I sold the truck, I beat up the turbo and it would squeal when it was high EGT and high rpm. I always heard about eating valves and seats, but from my experience, the turbo let go first. I didn't know at first and probably did the damage long and far ago. One thing you didn't mention is how to get EGT back down. Water/Meth injection is one way or a larger intercooler or ice water on the intercooler with a pump/tank/sprayers.

I am ok up to ~1100 then start backing off. I live in AK and the roads are hilly and windy.

I'm currently building a 6.7 Fummins for a work truck and I'm researching a good turbo/tune setup. What turbo are you using if it's stock VGT and you were to upgrade what would it be? Thanks for the great content! Subscribed!!
