Finally got my edge insight in and after installation I drove for about 1hr. unloaded. After 30 mins temps ranged from ECT 182-189 EOT 220-228 Btw stock gauges never moved.
Just returned from a 2500 mile trip and lost about a 1/3 gallon of coolant.
Ordering egr and oil coolers from bulletproof diesel, a coolant filter and picking up everything for flush tomorrow. Where can I get the updated fuel pressure spring?
With that type of spread, should I be concerned about anything else? Is there anything else I should do while im working on it this weekend?
Thanks in advance.

You might consider replacing the t-stat while you've got it out. Usually the ECTs run higher than 189°.
Disclaimer: my ECT was also running a tad on the low side, but a new t-stat didn't change it much.

You have to get the PRESSURE REGULATOR KIT # 3C3Z-9T517-AGI got mine from: www.partsguyed.com who is a sponsor on FTE.
The oil temp should be no more than 15 degrees hotter than coolant temp.
