Interesting topic! I have an extra pyrometer laying around and
have toyed with the idea of installing it onto my D358 (826). Not
that I think it's all that necessary. After many years of driving
diesel pickups in towing situations, both NA and turbo, that had
pyrometers, I can correlate high EGTs to what the exhaust looks
like. On an open station tractor the exhaust is kinda in your
face... if not literally in your face! If you are rolling lots of
smoke, your EGTs will be high. On my NA pickups, I found that
if the pump was even slightly turned up, you could get EGTs into
the terminal area pretty easily from overfueling and lugging. You
could do it on a stock truck if you tried hard enough. The
answer, of course was to either back off on the throttle or drop
down a gear and get the rpms up... but all-a-ya already know
that. I'm just interested to see it translates into the tractor world,
so maybe I ought to just do it and see for myself.
