EGT's will be fine, you can run 1200 for eternity if you wanted.

Sweet truck by the way.

Shift out of OD... Your EGT's will go down.

Otherwise I pull all the way across the country pulling a trailer, most of the time I was between 800-1000 EGT's without issue.

Like was said above, 1250 is the red line, you can pull all day at 1200-1250 and not hurt a thing other then your fuel bill...

One thing you need to do is give me your tires when you get to FL. I need a set of 40"+ HAHAHA

Yep. You want to have it as close to the engine as possible to get the most acurate reading!
