If you need to read your EGT, you should probably install a regular EGT probe and gauge. That way you can monitor it all the time, espcially under heavy loads or up long grades.

Try and keep your EGT's below 1200 F, that's a general rule and can go up or down depending on mods, driving style, how often you carry a load or tow. Fuel pressure should be in the 55-60 psi range. One of the really smart guys may adjust this some but these are generally correct.

The Fram OIL filters for the 6.0 diesel is the same filter as the Motorcraft and Racor oil filters. Same patent #'s on the bottom and the construction is identical.

Fram spin-on oil filters for other applications are JUNK!!
Fram uses cardboard end caps even on their "better than the orange can" filters.

The Frams used to be the same. I don't think they are anymore.

As far as 277k miles and just now starting to drop injectors - well, that's not too bad!
