Diesel

EGT, EGTs: EGT (Exhaust Gas Temperature) refers to the temperature of the exhaust gases leaving an engine. Monitoring EGT is crucial for diesel engine longevity and performance, especially in modified or heavily loaded vehicles. High EGTs can indicate excessive engine load, improper fueling, or issues with the exhaust system, potentially leading to engine damage, such as melted pistons or cracked exhaust manifolds. Aftermarket EGT gauges are often installed to provide real-time feedback to the driver, allowing them to adjust driving habits or engine tuning to keep temperatures within safe operating limits.
