I have purchased a twin engine digital EGT gauge set from Rival Motorsports that are made in the UK and plan to install them within the next couple of weeks. EGT stands for "Exhaust gas temperature" as these engines seem to have issues with excessive heat which creates excess fuel burn, exhaust gas manifold leads and turbo issues.
Anyone out there added EGT monitoring and if so what results, benefits did you see from having the additional info. TA whom owns Seaboard Marine out on the west coast has a lot of info on Cummins engines and things to look for and try and improve engine longevity and improved owner knowledge of engine issues he's dealt with extensively. I've read a lot on his site and anything I can do to improve the longevity, maintenance and reduced engine issues is of great benefit for Cuminis onwers imho.
Your thought and comments are welcome on the subject!
