I know, I know just google it and read the bazillion posting about EGTs on 7.3 that have been talked about.......I did. I know that we can sustain about 12,500 pretty comfortably and safely according to Ford, but anything much above that for time could do bad things.
Here is my situation which I can find little information about. 1995 E350 STOCK 7.3 pushing 9k lbs and running 4.10 gears. I do not have a pryometer installed and keep debating about installing one. Why? because I have no clue what a stock 7.3 van is running for EGT and am curious if its too high. I don not tow much and if I do its 3500lbs or so.
The E4OD really likes to hold OD until I drop under 40MPH which means I can lug it pretty good. I believe this can cause high EGTs? What are people running on stock vans, worth putting in a gauge? I would rather not if its not needed.
