It doesn't really mean that it was turned up. Personally, if I have an engine with a turbo on it, and I am going to work it, (whether it is a truck or tractor) it is going to have a pyrometer on it. When I hit a hill in my Freightliner, I watch the exhaust temp. more than I do water temp. Running down the road it normally runs about 600 degrees. Normally pull a decent hill at 900 degrees. I have seen it as high as 1250. Then you know it is time to back out of it and drop a gear, and watch both exhaust and water temp. closely. I've heard of them melting down at 1500.
