What kind of EGT sensor does a Ford PowerStroke use?
2011-2014 trucks can use PID EGT11 as it should be the first OEM EGT sensor located on the DPF unit. 2015+ trucks have a OEM EGT sensor pre-turbo so use PID EGRT11 The reading will not go below 392* F since it’s an OEM sensor.
What is the OBD-II trouble code for exhaust gas?
OBD-II trouble code P2479 is associated with the exhaust gas temperature out of range bank 1 sensor 2 circuit.
How does the resistance of an exhaust gas sensor change?
The resistance level of the exhaust gas temperature sensor should vary proportional to temperature increases and decreases. Based on the specific type of sensor, resistance should increase or decrease as the temperature rises and heat gun can be utilized to perform a bench check of this component.
Why does raising the RPMs lower the EGT?
From my understanding the reason you were able to lower EGTs by raising the RPMs is that with the added RPMs it tends to raise your boost pressure, which in turn is bringing in more “cold” air to the combustion therefore lowering the EGT.
Where is the EGT sensor on the 6.7L Powerstroke?
If you have a pickup truck (with a bed) it’s a WIDE FRAME. You’ll run across this with the EGT location data. EGT sensor 13, for the 6.7L Powerstroke, is the most difficult to remove, given the fact that it’s sitting right on top of the DPF. Thanks FORD!! I researched removal options and warnings.

You’ll need a 13mm 6point wrench or 1/2 6point wrench. I used a 13mm line wrench for mine. It popped right out (yes I am one of the lucky ones).
Is there a code scanner for a Ford F250?
The exhaust system may react to Copper or Aluminum and #2. Nickel tolerates higher heat levels. Whatever the reason, it’s also what the FORD dealership uses in their maintenance shop. Now on to my choice for a code scanner/deleter. I researched and found a very affordable one on Amazon.
Do you need to monitor your EGT After towing?
If its your first time towing after the modifications, then it is very important to monitor EGTs along with cooling temps, oil temps, fuel rail pressure to name a few. You want to make sure the tune is working correctly and monitoring is the most basic way to do so.
What should my EGT be on a 9000 lb truck?
Towing 9000 lbs you should not get close to that. Towing 6500 lbs I usually stay around 700 to 800 on flat ground Depending on the grade you can hit high EGTs when running unloaded. I’d suggest you find something to watch those EGTs. I’m assuming a working DEF system helps lower the EGT?
