New to the forum. Just got my first diesel; 1991 ford E350 van. Runs great, put a Hypermax 3 1/2" exhaust and k&n air filter. Did new return lines and glow plug relay. Timed it with Ferret meter at 8 degrees at 2000rpm. Egts : around town 35-45mph 400-500. On flat Texas interstates no load 65mph- 700, 75mph- 800, 80mph- 875. These are steady crusing speeds. When I accelerate from 65 to 80 temps go to 1000 then level off to 875-900. Are these temps normal ? Haven't towed anything yet and worried egts might get too hot. Egt is an Autometer sportcomp, probe is in passenger side manifold . Stock timing was at 6.5 and egts were cooler, van seems to have more pep at 8. any help would be helpful. Thanks, Fitzy
