Is your probe pre or post turbo?

Even if it is post, that sounds way too low. Your highway cruising egt's should be somewhere in the 600-750 range assuming that the probe is pre turbo. Have you checked all of your connections? I would suspect that it has something to do with the egt gauge, box, or probe rather than the rest of your truck unless it is being a real dog.

with the 215's and 181's, you have the ability to hit 1600. yours does seem low.

Pre-turbo probe, it must need more fuel. If the timing jumped would show low egt?
