Your temps are in line with mine. Around town, ETC is 200-204 and EOT is even or a couple above. Highway at speeds to 75 for extended periods, ECT is 200-204 and EOT is 206-208. That also should make mpg go up.... remember, diesel trucks operate more efficiently at 210° and these trucks like 1900-2000rpm... optimal for the trubo. Your exactly where it needs to be, now to keep it there.

The ticket is to not over react. Monitor your data for trends and then be educated to recognize a different direction in the trend, that forces the investigation of a failing part.
