is that idling after warmed up or driving? we generally try to monitor EOT and ECT at 50mph with cruise control on to receive a accurate reading.... we like to see 2-4 degrees difference between them and we dont except anything over 7-8

warmed up driving. I think the t-stat doesn't open until 195* so this should be in range. The temps never stray more than what you mentioned. I just got nervous seeing 200* eot . I am due for an oil change like right now.

A 200* EOT is nothing to worry about. Start worrying when it begins creeping towards 250* (engine will start to defuel at 253*)

200 is common for EOT, the readings your telling are good across the board, just always stay on top of your oil changes, oil does so much more on a 7.3 and 6.0 then 95% of the engines out there, 5000 miles is when I do mine
