    I have a 550hp 2WS also. It runs 190 on water temp. 65 pounds of oil pressure at 1400 RPM. Identical EGT's to yours.

    The coolant temps are a little low. This could be the gauge in the dash or a thermostat that is opening to early. I'd recommend changing the thermostats every 350,000 miles anyway

    Ok I'll change the thermostats the inframe has about 300k but it hasn't been run much the last 2 years so I figured there would be some bugs to work out. Thanks all for the replys

    My guess would be the gauge is off. I say that, because the temp gauge in my 2003 Pete was 20* off compared to the Cat ID. Certainly a good idea to replace the thermostats as well though.

    Well so far 5.8 mpg's at close or maybe a few pounds over 80k. Sure is alot differant than the old truck almost feels like I need to learn to drive all over again, sometimes feeling like a rookie getting into tight docks :biggrin_2556: Defentaly helps to keep her wound up alittle more than I was at 1st on the big hills.

    I have a 6NZ. I run 1600 RPM on hard pulls, keeps exhaust temp lower. The lower my RPM the faster the EGT goes up.
