Low EGT's. Winter blend or just cooler weather?
I was just noticing that my EGT's where kinda low. I realize that its winter now and temps can get down there but I was wondering if winter blend plays a good part in your EGT's being lower than normal?

Yeah, it's the cold air.
I'm running about 150* cooler EGT's with the outside air in the teens.
I know the winter blend has less BTU's, but your throttle foot compensates for this, which is why less mileage on winter blend. Don't think THIS lowers EGT's.

Just food for thought. My EGTs started dropping than all of a sudden I cruising down the highway - loaded down weighing around 28,000 and my egt's were 400*. Soon it was down to 200. Had to replace the themal coupler in the down pipe and all went back to normal, About $25.
