Narrative:
During the climb from chicago, the #2 engine egt went to 986 degrees. I retarded the throttle to idle to keep the egt in limits. We performed the appropriate procedure. I elected to divert to indianapolis. I declared an emergency. The remainder of the flight was uneventful. I selected indianapolis because of familiarity, good WX and air traffic. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: the reporter stated the airplane was left in ind and the failed component that caused the high egt is unknown. The reporter said the aircraft remained in ind for several days and believes the engine was changed.
