Yeah I'd say that temp is normal at start up for exhaust gases... Not that I'm an expert but that's right after the combustion process in the chambers, so that gases are hot at start up...
Here's a pic of my regen screen on the way up the big hill close to my house... ECT was at 130 and climbing when I switched over to this...
So I had an active regen today... Lot of local, low speed driving... So SL climbed fairly quick today. Anyways, probably climbed from 65 or 70 to FULL today so when driving relatively low speeds and engine/exhaust remains somewhat cool, it will climb faster. Just went into regen before I stopped at my buddy's shop for awhile... Obviously the truck wasn't totally cold but here's a pic of when I first started it...
EGR1 at 392 like yours...
I put on 134 miles since yesterday after I installed the Derringer, Pedal Monster and second iDash... Regen was 312 miles out since last one but that's what local low speed driving does...

Thanks for posting this, makes me feel better knowing it is normal. I also noticed the other day how the SL would climb at lower speed driving.
Yep you are completely normal... Or rather at least your truck is...
Also, when I got to the shop, I put the truck in park which will shut off an active regen and also let it idle for a few to get the fuel out of the combustion chambers and into the exhaust...
If you shut off the truck right away after what happened to me, it's possible excess fuel may leak past the rings and get into the oil...
Now that I can monitor the temps I can do that, prior to the idash I would always wait 5 minutes before shutting down and never at a rest stop. I did the same when I had the diesel pusher motorhome.
this has been an eye opening thread for me.
I'm on my second day off today... I'll switch to my regen screen and see where my truck is at but like Scott says, EGR is different from EGT. EGR1 is exhaust gas directly from the exhaust manifold and the EGT PIDs are in the exhaust with EGT1 right after the turbo... So EGR1 will be hotter because it's coming right off the engine.
This is what I'm trying to figure out with the Scan Gauge II. It'll read four different EGT sensors, but I don't know what each one corresponds to. So I programmed mine to read EGT1 and EGT2. I'm assuming those are pre and post turbo.
I also watch EGT1 and EGT4... EGT1 would be considered post turbo as it's after the turbo at the entrance of the rocketship (for the pickups) and EGT4 are at the exit of the rocketship which for the pickups, would be the temps of the DPF itself... because the cab and chassis sensors are set up slightly different as seen by the pic in the link Joe posted up.
