Exhaust temp

mnccnm · Mar 29, 2011

I don't mean to be a pest here, but this diesel newbie has another question. What is the max temp I should keep the exhaust under? Will it climb to the point of melting down pistons or the turbo under a load if not kept in check with the accelerator pedal?

Dumb question?????

I seem to recall reading that around 1200 deg is the maximum for sustained operation.

+1 1200* is the highest you want to run at and never let it hit 1400* unless it is only in spikes (hauling up hills or jumping on the highway) or you will fry your turbo bearing
