This is while the truck was idling right after I got home from running around to find more TP for my wife and our grown children. But anyway, you can see the max and min of all of them. This is my first diesel truck and I want to make sure numbers are looking ok.

For those 6, looks great. Throw in vgt, map or boost. Injector pulse width, ficm voltage.
similar to this. These are not a must. If something starts happening these will give you a quick idea of what's up.

your HPOP is 60 psi more then mine and your coolant temp and oil temp are closer then mine. Is that ok?

on the hpop, there are varying opinions on that. i wont say its bad. Mine is fairly new (6 months 20,000 miles +/-) clean oil and the such. The Deltas,that is with truck idling for about 3-4 minutes before shut down. My delta's at operating temps range from 5 to 10 depending on how fast and what i'm pulling. your readings you posted are not bad. I had bad issues with my deltas so i went through the argues process of flushing my motor and radiator before i replaced my oil cooler again. That really helped with my temps.

your coolant temp is kinda low. I don't know if that's because its not wormed up or your thermostat stays open or is a low temp thermostat.

I was around town today and not pulling my trailer. It was also down pouring here today. It does go up when I drive for awhile.

Running your heater does keep temps down. Have to take that into consideration to.

Next time you're running at temp on the interstate take a screenshot and post your readings then you'll have more of an idea of what's going on with hpop injector pulse width, Ficm #'s, ipr % and so on.
I wouldn't worry to much right now. Just monitoring things helps. If something starts going wonky you'll get a heads up. That always saves money.
