I started my truck and the alert for egt's was beeping and showing 2147 degrees and wouldnt go away. I had to shut off the alerts to drive the truck.


Man I knew my luck would change with this thing and here it comes.

Whats wrong with it? Does anyone know?

Maybe your pyrometer is shorted out? Disconnect the pyro probe and see what happens.

Ground the pyro wire. I had (have) a faulty pyro wire which when the s/s cable of the wire isn't grounded, it shows freaky temps. Ground it (zip tie it to a crossmember), and it's fine. I have a backup pyro, for when I decide to change it out, but for now it works fine as long as it's grounded...
