I installed a new egt and tranny temp gauge prior to camping this weekend. I wanted to get a baseline before towing a car. The tranny temp sensor is in the pan and the egt is in the left exhaust pipe just after the header. The transmission holds at about 125F to 150F on level ground at 65 mph. The egt holds right around 1200F cruising at 65 mph and gets up to 1350F going up hill. I'll have to see what it does with 4500 lbs in tow.
I also plan to measure the header temp at the head to see how much the egt cools before reaching the sensor at the collector.
