could my pyro be wrong? Bully dog triple dog w/lookout. Cold air intake,exhaust brake. On a 06 with 6
speed. 2500. How often does a pyro go wrong?

Why do you suspect its wrong?

Where's it located? And like ah64id said, we need to know what your problem is.

last few times my wife has pulled our trailer egt's have gotten higher than I would like to see. This time it was 1400 but last week they were 1600. I took prefilter off and also the cat. The trailer weighs about 12000 lbs. I know this truck could pull it easily. She also turned chip to stock. The sensor is located on the exhaust brake after turbo. Thanks for input.

Well 04.5+ can get to 1400*+ stock, especially when towing that much weight... but thats pre-turbo, post turbo would tell me that your at 1700*-2000* pre-turbo.... I don't think the BDTD drops EGT's like a Smarty, but they still shouldn't be that high... I would call BD and see if they can send you a new probe....

I would also think about moving the probe pre-turbo... better more accurate readings.

thanks for the help

IMO, get yourself a mechanical pyro and install it preturbo. Keep the BD where it's at, and go from there.

What's a mechanical pyro? You talking about a stand alone gauge?
