Stock egts

I have a 2000 f250 it’s basically a stock truck only mods are a swag diesel 2 piece spyder, bellowed up pipes, ww2 compressor wheel, 6637 air filter and a 3-1 gauge boost, egt, and trans temp. I have never owned a basically stock not tuned 7.3. Yesterday towing 11k(dump trailer) I saw 1200 egt a couple times up hill running 65 to 70mph I was just wondering if this normal, ik it’s not gonna hurt anything, just surprised my other truck with a bunch of mods never sees over 1150 egt. Just looking for other peoples experience on a basically stock truck.

Normal, they can get up to 1300°+ if engine is on the weak side or have worn out injectors, another problem is there are alot of other factors like tire size, gear ratios etc

It means it’s not getting enough air. Do you still have the GTP38 in it? This is a different truck from the one with 200/200s ?
