Default High EGT's with no load. HELP PLS

This would have been one of those times I would have simply asked Forrest.

Sure do Miss him.

Anyhow
2001 24 valve.
EGT's at 70mpg run around 790 to 860 or so while cruising.
Fuel not turned up.

Boost around 6psi at this speed.

Years ago the truck would run these kind of EGT's with a heavy load. Now with no load I am getting high EGT's.
The truck can hit 1000 or more easy with zero fuel setting on the Edge Juice simply by just a little action on the accelerator.

All turbo boots are nice and tight.
She makes good boost 30 and 35 psi so that make me think there are no leaked in the turbo system.

Any tips or thoughts would be much appreciated.

Thanks
Steve in Richardson,TX
