EGT gauge

What egt does your truck run at doing 65mph? Mines around 600F, I'm not sure if this is really high? I do know when I get up on it that it gets to about 1100F but it won't budge from that mark.

(installed new gauges so I'm really not sure haha)

600 at 65 is good.

Mine is like 700* or higher in the exhaust manifold on the highway.

Wouldn't the temp be variable based upon where the sensor is located ?

I've seen them in the manifold and in the exhaust. Are you guys comparing apples to apples, or apples to peanut butter sandwiches ?

Mine runs anywhere from 425 to 650 depending on the wind. I have my probe in the manifold.
