Shimming the fpr will not help with high EGTs. You need more air for a more complete fuel burn. How are the temps if you pull in a lower gear, keeping the revs higher?

I was talking about the EGT, not the coolant temps, sorry I wasn't clear on that. Usually if you use a lower gear and keep the RPMs up it will help to lower the EGT.

How big is your camper? Does it hang at 1200 on flat ground or just hills? Do you have any boost/exhaust leaks?

You answered one of my questions.

We need more information before we can help. I'll add a couple more.

Do you have a chip? If so, what setting is it on?

You can drive your truck with 1200 (pre-turbo) EGTs, all day long.

I have fought EGT's for ten years, welcome to the party. Sounds like your mods are getting you in the right direction.

Until all questions are answered that are asked, its kinda hard to help.
