EOT Vs ECT

Well guys another quick question.. Driving up north today temp at 20*F cruising at 80mph no load and low grades the Ect was 193*F and the Eot was 204*F-205*F...When I dropped the speed to 65Mph.. The Ect stayed at 193*F and the Eot went down to 196-198*F... Would this be considered normal.. without a load..


Thank you

Your engine is working a lot harder at 80 than at 65. Remember, it's not the most aerodynamic thing on the road...

I have always been told no more than 20 degrees apart. Sounds good to me.

I think of it this way. Is your engine working as hard at 80mph unloaded. As it would be at 65mph pulling a trailer? I can't get mine to get anywhere close to 15 degree spread unless I work it hard. But I've just decided I would do mine to start with a clean slate.
