When were EGT sensors part of emissions? Never have been........
They can be used in emissions, but it is likely more along the lines of making all of that extra power everyone wants without burning up the turbos. For a long time, diesels were just tuned so that you couldn't possibly burn them up stock. When guys would hot-rod them, they would add EGT sensors so they didn't burn them up when they hauled something heavy. I suspect the newer ones have some of that hot rod tuning to give you some extra power when you need it, but back it off before it does damage.
I like my '03 5.9L, manual transmission, manual transfer case, 19MPG Dodge 2500 more and more every day. My only complaint is the thin sheet metal. When I'm gone many, many years from now, my kids can either fight over it, or figure out which scrap yard to take it to. I'm not getting rid of it. |
