eot and ect make sure this is ok

Going down highway and noticed that my eot was 196 and my ect was 184, 70 mph 2100 rpm, and 45f outside driving for over 40 mins, no load on truck about 6-8 psi on turbo, should I worry, 07 f250 with 113500 miles on truck

You need a new t-stat. Don't worry about the temp splits until you get ECT to 190*f.

And then with an oem you probably won't reach 190* until summertime..now that the temps are dropping outside so is my thermostat and it's just a year old.

He will reach 192 with a good thermostat even in the winter.

and when you stop and go again double check that the sensors ECT and EOT have dropped in temp and close to the same reading within but no more than 15 Deg spread
