Well first off do you have a stock or modified exhaust, intake, or tuner / chip. also, where is your probe mounted ? Pre or post turbo ? Pre will be in the manifold on the driver's side.
Sounds like you had a bad sender - the 200-300 is WAY cold .. our trucks idle at 300 easy... just driving down the road at minimal accel will hit 500. Flat crusing will get you 650 no problem. And pulling a hill or a load can see 900 up to 1200 depending on exhaust, turbo, performance tunes, etc ..
so it sounds like you're in the right zone.

Thanks To All You Guys.. It Sounds Like The Pyro Is Reading Correct. One Other. Item I Forgot Is I Hear A Light Tick,tick,tick At The 900 Reading. Any Suggestions On That. It Does Have A After Market Chip (i N There When I Bought Truck) Also Oversized Exhaust. Only Has 19m Miles On Truck. Thanks

what are normal operatiing temps if the sensor is located after the turbo....
my truck reads between 300- idle and 900- cranking up a hill on 120 race
i know 1200 is about max for the motor, but i also know it is much less if the sensor is after the turbo

Also, 1200 is about the max sustained temp you want to see. You can burst well past that without causing any damage.
