Default high egt's lately

idk if it is a big deal but my truck is running 800-1100 degrees criusin at 75-80 mph... it used to run 700-900 degrees i dont ever recall it goin over 1000 in the same situation... it has been very windy but i dont think it should effect it that much... and one night onmy way home from work the turbo had a hummm to it at 80 mph only... if i dropped the criuse to 75 the hummm went away... i thought maybe my egt probe was bad but it is brand new... all in all im just kinda worried... i have an edge jiuce with attitude cold air intake and 3.5" straight pipe...

Changes in programming will normally change EGT's. Is all that the same from then to now?

Tires the same size as before too?

Doesn't really make since if everything is the same. The wind will add to load and add EGTs, but the cooler weather will help lower EGTs due to cooler intake air and cooler air through the rad/intercooler stack.

It's been tested that the stocker filters and flows better than the aftermarket units.
