6.0 Running Hot?

[Stroker67]

Hey guys,

I got a 2006 6.0 that the batteries went weak after a week of the truck not being driven. Got the batteries jumped enough to start the truck and get it running. I let it set for about 15 minutes and run then decided to just take it out for a spin. The EGT's seem to be running a little hot. Not even half throttle im hitting 800* on flat ground. Is there something I have missed here or something I have done wrong? Truck is SCT tuned by IDP. Thanks.

800* is nothing to worry bout IMO

Unless your running 1100*+ without a load and not WOT

pcm is prolly adding vgt duty cycle adding exhaust backpressure to aid in cold weather conditions and engine warm up. also if the batteries were dead it will have to go thru vgt learn strategies

Took it out on the highway and drove it like I stole it and it seems to be running fine now. Must've just needed blown out real good.

You gotta do that with these trucks. every now and again they need a good cleaning out.
