I'm scared of seeing a spread like that when I get my Scanguage. Makes you wonder at how likely you could have blown the motor, or at the very least been stranded somewhere.
You guys have any links on backflushing the oil cooloer?
You guys have any links on backflushing the oil cooler?
Well, here is a long thread, but interesting to read of one person's attempt. And others who have been trying to flush also. Long read, but, it has a lot of info you might need to know before starting.

yep, that was what got me started. He links to another even longer thread where a guy in Norway was doing this (I think that's where he was)
It's not a quick read, especially when being sidetracked by other threads that get linked in. And I read it all...
I have an 05 and currently use the latest and greatest PID for EOT, and still its 3 degrees different than ECT after an 8-10hr cold soak. That first one when entered in reads backwards ie: 8.67 instead of 67.8.
I just did the full blown coolant flush last weekend. Took me 2 full days. I flushed the dog out of it. Restore & Restore Plus for 2 hours each @ 65 MPH with cardboard covering the grille. Back flushed for like 6 hours, maybe more. Endless filtered hose hot water tank flushes & endless distilled water flushes. Fumoto valves in the block & installed the DieselSite coolant filter kit. Filled nice clean system with Rotella ELC. I had about a 30 degree difference, now I have a big 9. Thats unloaded @ 65 MPH reading taken after 20 minutes of driving on the expressway. Before & after off my Edge Insight. Thanks FTE!!!
