Installed Gauges

I got my Isspro EGT, Trans Temp and Boost gauges last week. Prior to that I installed a 6.0 transmission cooler. My truck a early 1999 F250 SD 2WD 7.3 115k with a stock tune. I left yesterday pulling a toy hauler. Truck and trailer weighed in at 19,500lbs. I hit several passes. On the steepest grade I had to shift down to second 40mph 2500rpm for about 3 miles. The highest temps I saw were Egt 1100F/1150F... (normal towing flat 60 mph 820F) Trans Temp 120F (normal flat towing 110F) Boost at one point got to about 17/18. I tried to keep my foot out of it to keep Egt as low as possible. I was wondering how my temp might compare to the experience of others.

Those numbers are right where they should be. Nice job on the install. Now you can tow with a lot more confidence.
