High EGT's

smcinrox · 2007-05-20

I have an early 99 F-350. The EGT's are running higher than they used to with no modifications being done to the truck. I checked to make sure my boot connections are tight but haven't had time to do a pressure test yet. I'm going to verify the EBPV isn't stuck in a slightly closed position (hopefully tonight). If the leak test turns out good and the EBPV is not stuck closed, I was thinking about purchasing a cat delete pipe for testing to see if the cat is causing a restriction. Does anyone have a suggested place to buy a cat delete pipe? Do the experts out there think I'm on the right track? Any additional suggestions would be appreciated.

I asked the same question a while back about running without a muffler. Here's the post and the answers I recieved.

Yeah, liked to know what you come up for readings with the new muffler in comparison to going straight pipe.

Cool (no pun intended). That's what I was hoping to hear. Sounds like a muffler replacement would be in order for any of our trucks then to get the EGTs down.

I remember a book a while back called "101 Uses For A Dead Cat"
