new oil cooler and still high eot's
OK, I did a oil cooler and egr delete about 2 months ago and all is good until my trip this weekend. I noticed on the highway at 70 MPH my eots were claiming to high. I hit 218 at one point my ects were around 190 -200. I am running zerex g05 I just don't get why my eots are high. As soon as I slow down off the highway they will come down to within 4-6 degrees. Any thoughts??

How Many Miles on the New Oil Cooler????
Folks have had good luck flushing new oil coolers that plug soon after the Install vs a Plugged oil cooler that has 80K on it and PACKED with S@!T
Its Possible and you wouldnt be the first on to have this happen
or the other Possiblities would be a Coolant flow Issue
Yes you can have a Bigger Spread since the EGR Cooler is removed and you dont have to worrey about a EGR Cooler melt down and the problems that come with it. The system is alittle More Forgiving without the EGR Cooler
But you still need to cool the Oil IMO
so you still Apply the ECT vs EOT Deltas the same to determine the Oil Cooler Health

No I'm not running a filter, though I'm sure my wife ordered me one for my bday next week!!
The new oil cooler has maybe 1k on it, I have read its more possible to flush a new cooler vs a old one like you said, its just frustrating that it might be clooged AGAIN. Should I do a vc9 flush or just a water flush?
I would think I'm good on coolant flow due to the truck running at 190, right?

Sound like you might have a bunch of garbage in the cooling system. did you pull the block drains and lower hose and heater lines and reverse flush each section of the coolant system. Even pull thermostat and run cleaner VC-9 threw it at High Idel or 1100-1200 rpms for an Hour parked ?????
I went to Great Lengths to flush mine before I installed new Oil Cooler and seemed to work 15K since and 4-6* spread HWY
Its Harder for the WP to push coolant threw the small veins of the Oil Cooler vs Around cylinders/Heads
Throw a Bad WP or Cavitated front cover in the mix and could have a hard time pushing coolant threw Oil Cooler
IMO First thing to try is Flush right at the Oil Cooler to EGR Cooler Port see what happens stuff a hose in every Port/Hose connect and flush GOOOOD
