Could that be from high EGT's, if so then my engine is probably going south. On some of these hills in cruise I'm getting worse about kicking the cruise off. I keep thinking, I'm almost to the top while the temp is getting up to 1400*. Its still running great but I'm getting mad at myself for getting lazy about kicking off the cruise.

Don't know what did it.because it was this way when i bought it.but the guy that sold it to me said the kid he got it from drove the hell out of it so ??
Thats the same way my dually does going up hills pulling.still need to install the intercooler i got.just been busy on other things.Just kicking it off like you were doing and slowing some keeps temps around 1100 most of the time
