Default egt problems?

I know im pumping alot of fuel, what would be a good way to lower my egts?
i have 4.10 gears with 35's, at 65mph @ 2.2krpm's im about 900, if i give it any gas or go up a hill of any kind i go to around 10~12 or beyond, would changing the gears from 4.10's to 3.73s help at all? personally the 4.10's would be nice, do daily drive my truck its dyno'd at around 400-450 hp, 1200+lbtq, but with the 4.10's i have no power really at all past 60, and if i only lived in town 4.10's would be alright but since i live in the country, 3.73's would be nice.

any ideas to lower the egts would be nice, and opinions on the gear ratio.

thanks guys, have a good day, blow some smoke!!
