your air filter clean?
VGT duty cycle?
is this in gear or park?

 

Air filter is clean, haven't checked the VGT duty cycle, and while in gear its 450-500. In park its 400-450...which is still a lot higher than normal for me.

 

on the bigger tunes my egts are a little higher than smaller ones, but the temps you are seeing is about what my truck is IN gear not in park in park i see 300 usually maybe.

Check VGT, but i bet you would have thrown a code for that, also check %engine load at idle, i dont know what mine is but i will check after a bit for you. I wonder if maybe you have a bad EGT sensor? My EGRTA sensor is going on on me...

 

I talked to Mick about it and he acted like I was crazy when I said my normal temps were below 400 lol. He said if your EGT sensor is going bad then you will see the reading all over the place while driving and when in park it will sit on 140 degrees. I will check the duty cycle and engine load % and let you know.

I was getting the P2263 code with the 250 tune, but I figured that to be tune related since I only get it wih that tune. Mick and I also talked about that and he said he was sure it was tune related as well because someone else had called in about it on that tune. Once I switched back to the 210 Tow, the code hasn't come back up.

 

well.... one thing i was hoping was for a drop in temps at an idle when i switched to this turbo, and that never happened... im almost positive my temps were 300-350 at an idle, I know even on a super cold morning after idling for a min or two the temps are 300, but never 500 in park.

 

I'm going to go drive it up the road and get it up to temp and then check it out. I'll post up what I see.

 

mine are right at 400 most the time. ambient air temp can play a role, not big, but definitely a few degrees.

 

I have usually see 350 at idle even in 80-90 degree weather. Its 40 degrees outside here right now. It was 46-49 degrees out today and it was ideling 450-500 at times. Something ain't right. Just started doing it today which is what is weird. I didn't notice it yesterday. And I always let my EGT's drop below 400 before I shut my truck off.

 

Ok, so I went outside and cranked my truck up. It immediately was already at 350 degrees. Ideling at 5000-5100 FRP normal idle, VGT duty cycle was at 89%. I bumped the throttle up to like 1500 RPM and the duty cycle dropped down to 50%, and then settled off at 85% at idle again. So it was between 85-89% at idle.

 

The norm i see is 350, no more then 400 but at times I have seen it about 450 while in drive.

 

I've seen as low as 270 at idle, that's on Eric's street only thou.

 

Its got a be a sensor issue or something since it just started this today. Its not tune related because I ran this tune for over a week without this issue. If anyone has any other ideas please chime in. THANKS!

 

Mine at idle will get around 280. When my egt sensor went out about a month ago or so I really had no indication that it was fixing to go out. I went ride down the road not paying any attention to them, but when I got back home not even 10 min later to let them cool down it was stuck at 140 and they were working fine when I left.

 

at idle you should run 95% VGT... I think

calculated engine load on my truck when it was warm was about 5% and about 9% in gear.

 

I had a bad sensor and my readings were all over the place like urs. i replaced the pre turbo sensor, which was the trouble code that came up and i idle at 262 constantly now. wat a difference one sensor can do

 

my truck runs 297 idel in park and about 350-380 in drive at idel

 

Mine normally sit at 350-400 running any tune.

Before I shut mine off I let it get below 400

 

High idle right now, 1,000 RPM and 5600-5700 rail pressure on 210 Tow. 415-420 degrees, 75% VGT duty cycle. No codes

 

could the veins be sticking possibly causing it to stay hotter?

 

I'm running the regular 210 tune and mine idles around 300 degrees.

 

With the way Jeff drives, the vanes probably aint sticking. It is getting warmer here in Ga, so take that into account and did you have the A/C on?

 

I've always got the A/C on lol, and it's never done this before even in warm/hot weather. I did notice today that when I turn the key over, it jumps straight up to like 550 before I even crank the truck. That's even after the truck has sat 30+ minutes. It's got to be a bad sensor. No codes though....

 

you never know though they could be.

 

That definetly sounds like a bad sensor. same coditions like mine. the resistor in the sensor went bad and made the temp go nuts.

 

Ok, this is getting weird.....

I loaded up the 125 EGR delete tune. Went for a drive and immediately notice that my VGT duty cycle wasn't dropping way down like with the 210 Tow Performance. The 210 TP would drop all the way down to 7.XXX while I was in the throttle. The 125 tune only drops down into the mid 30's and easily comes back up in to the 60's while at light throttle. Idle duty cycle % is still around 75-80%. I had the hood up at idle to see if there was any noticeable differences in the sound or anything strange. Nothing looks or sounds any different. EGT's with the 125 tune dropped down to 375 at idle in park.....I have not idea what to think now. 210 TP and 250 tune both have issues with high EGT's at idle.....I will do some more monitoring and go from there I guess.

I am going to the dealer tomorrow to get some squeaking noises in the steering wheel/collum taken care of and my 4wd looked at. It will only work when the hubs are manually locked, so I am thinking it could be a vacuum line leak or something along those lines. While I am there I am going to get the diesel tech to hook up his laptop to the truck and see what is not normal.

I'll post up the results.....

 

i dont think that your duty cycle should drop to 7% that easy, when my sensor was messing up it would drop to 7% and i had a nasty drone in the cab

 

Only does it on those 2 tunes. 125 tune ran fine. Wonder if its tuning issues since its not on all tunes? And yes, I know the drone you speak of.

 

That is really weird i hope they can find somethin if there is. I hope there is nothing major good luck.
