Those readings look ok. Do you have an active fault? Is the EML (lightning bolt) on?

I've got an 04 granite ,460, 18spd.Coolant temp fluctuates between 180-200.Oil temp usually reading about 215-225,and seeing 900 degrees on the pyro is normal on a long pull..However this truck will go 80 mph with a load..

That would be my suggestion. Take it to a dealership and have them get the most current software and datafiles enabled by Mack. You might have them check the programmed parameters to make sure everything is right. That shouldn't cost too much since no parts are involved. Did you buy it used? If so, did you change the application the truck is used in? A truck spec'd for highway service may not perform adequately for vocational use. Being an AI the truck should be set up for vocational applications, but people sometimes do strange things when spec'ing trucks.
