Do this first!
He is asking what the difference in temperature is across your furnace.
Normally you should see about a 40-50 degree temperature rise across the furnace.

It doesn't take very much very cold fresh air entering the furnace return air duct to drive supply temperature down. You may have to throttle the amount of fresh air entering for colder weather.
