Best of luck getting the truck repaired as quickly and cheaply as possible, as non of us like seeing or hearing about a fellow Powerstroke owner having troubles.
My appologies to nitrogen and 69CJ or any others my comments ticked off! Have a virtual cold one on me!
You didn't see me ticked off and I never said the t-stat would fix the problem. All I said was if my truck ect never got over 190 that I'd change the t-stat at the next scheduled flush. Back at ya bigdaddy.
I probably came on a bit strong. Mostly I was trying to say what 69 said in his last post. With a flush and thermostat my truck runs 195-210 so I tend to think anything less leaves room to improve. Maybe I'm the exception but my coolant went from 175 to 195-210 and even the oil went up some the delta dropped to half of what it was. Peace all
Oh oh ,my deltas are 184.00*ect- 201.54 eot "solid" at 5min 2.5k rpm after warmup. I guess the oil cooler is pluged. I am also showing white smoke from the ex pipe. Dang I also have to re-seal the turbo, and I think I have a bad injecter. Not even 3 months and all this. Great, I really LOVE my 6.0!
P.S Ok NO puking from the degas tank and hardly no missing coolant, its a PLUS!
Well just got home with it. 260 miles to where i repaired it 14.9mpg at 70mph. avg eot 246 avg ect 197.
Flushed thoroughly,
Installed new oil cooler, deleted egr cooler, installed sinister coolant filter, replaced egr valve, new thermostat, and put a new serpentine belt on her.
Trip home 22mpg eot 207 ect 200
Turbo is a little noisy but seems to be running good.
We started at 8 am finished at 10pm
Thanks for all the info guys it's greatly appreciated.
