Pyrometer EGT Gauges

Why is EGT Important?

An Exhaust Temperature Gauge acts as an indicator of how hot the exhaust gases are as they exit the combustion chamber and keeps you aware of the amount of afterburning that is occurring in the exhaust manifold. If your engine is running too hot, the resulting engine impact can be serious and may include melted pistons, cracked heads, destruction of the turbos, and engine failure. In order to avoid all of the results of excessively high exhaust gas temperatures, we recommend installing an Exhaust Gas Temperature Gauge.

Benefits of an EGT Gauge

Adding an Exhaust Gas Temperature Gauge to your vehicle offers benefits such as prevention of spark plug fouling, operation of your vehicle at peak EGT, and the guarantee of peak engine performance at high speeds. Installing an Exhaust Gas Temperature Gauge allows you to spot a problem sooner to avoid engine damage. We recommend that diesel trucks used exclusively for towing or that have been modified for enhanced performance utilize the 1500°F Pyrometer Diesel Gauge, whereas gas engine vehicles will utilize the 2200°F or 2400°F Exhaust Gas Temperature models. Each GlowShift EGT Gauge comes standard with a 1/8-27 NPT type K thermocouple EGT probe that can be installed on either the pre-turbo location of the exhaust manifold for the most accurate readings or on the exhaust pipe using an exhaust gas temperature bracket. We offer extended harnesses for the EGT probe as well if required.
