EGTs seem to have doubled!

I'm all stock.
Suddenly saw my egts hit 1600 accelerating off a stop. Then sitting at 800 at idle.

Other than the gauge reading, truck is acting totally normal.

Shut it off and then drove it again. Everything went back to normal.

Think it's my dipricol gauge acting up? Or do I have a bigger problem?

The dipricol is one of those servo motor gauges. I had been bouncing down a rocky road for the last 5 hours, then idling for 45 minutes while airing up.

I had a gauge issue once, it was my thermocouple. Mine is an isspro, they had troubleshooting steps on their website, I'm sure dipricol does as well. That's where I'd start. Check the connections and make sure everything is nice and tight.

I agree with madhat, if you weren't towing or gettin crazy, sounds like a parts issue...
