Typical cruising EGT's ?
I've just installed my EGT gauge (yet to install probe since I'm missing some spare time) and I would love to know generally what kind of cruising EGT's (pre-turbo) I should see. My diesel is a stock 2.5 liter TD, IDI, intercooled, straight through exhaust.
What are typical cruise EGT's for a first gen Ram with the VE pump?
Thanks in advance.

Took it for a longer drive today
500-600F cruising in 5th at 1500-1800 rpm.
900F at WOT in 4th, up a big incline. Put it into 5th, kept the speed the same and the EGTs climbed to 1000F after another mile up the incline.
I guess it's time to start working on improving airflow to my intercooler and getting a bigger exhaust. Stock doesn't cut it even on the stock tune
Then a bigger turbo is definitely coming
