Truck running cold?
Ran down to the big city yesterday to pick up some stuff for the truck (bought a door shell for $250 from one guy and sway bar end link bushings and a stabilizer from another for $30, thanks Craigslist!) and noticed that while running at 65-70mph my pyro was only showing 450-500 degrees. DP Tuner set to 100 perf, truck is running fine. Any ideas?

Cruisin on the flat that sounds pretty good. I usually run a little higher than that due to the 4.10 and running a higher rpm at that speed.
Good find on the goodies! The stabilizer that I pulled off isn't in as good of shape as I thought. Still got the trailer plug when you're ready.

Ryan- don't give up on me, if I hadn't found the good deal on this door I'd be sending a check your way

That's where I normally run.

I run about 450-500 at 60-65. Maybe 500-600 at 70ish. On flats, it gets close to 500 at 70 for me, but I have a van turbo -- it should be lower. Was it raining or anything unusual to make the intercooler work better??

It was cool and cloudy, not raining, but even driving in the rain and in colder weather I've never noticed the EGT's quite that low while cruising. Could have just been a fluke, but even in the afternoon when the sun came out and the weather was nicer the EGT's stayed the same. I figure I'll just keep an eye on it and see what shakes out.
