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.
