Is your egt probe pre or post turbo? You have 4:10s so its winding a little higher than the 3.5 guys maybe that could cause it. Is that flat ground?

Sorry i cant be of too much help.

I pull our 25ft gooseneck loaded to around 18000lbs but it doesnt go far, just across town to the airport. IIRC my egts were a little lower, but then again im only doing 50km/h...

my truck runs 800 at 70mph empty.i think towing that much weight your temp is great

You need to be sure because there is about 300 degrees difference from post to after turbo temps.

mine is pre turbo.

also running straight out a 4" stack which really helped egts...

Your temps are fine, just do not lug it down to much. Keep it in a gear that keeps the rpm up in the 1750 range when the temps start to go up, and you will do great.
