ECT EOT questions
Hi all, I have a 03 F450 CC auto with 12ft flat bed and 4:88 rear end,
after Scangauge II installed I've been watching my deltas and this
is what I've been getting on flat run to town 40 miles with 100+ outside temps cold start are within 2deg allways, at warm idel wt172 - ot173
at 2500rpm 68mph wt206-ot220 and trip home wt213-ot229, I did the coolant complete flush and clean and got the same readings. pulling the camper up the mountains and not much different on the deltas, my ? is
would the size and design on my truck have any difference for the deltas
or will I be needing a oil cooler soon thanks

If you arent seeing over 213/229 towing in 100 degree weather I would say your fine.
If that eot gets over 245 towing get a new oil cooler.
I have 4500 miles on a new longblock and my delta was alot higher 192 ect/270eot.....with no dash warning lights btw.
As long as you ect rises, and the high speed fan comes on at over 212 I would drive it and keep an eye on it. Just my. 02

I finally have the right formula for the Torque app (I think). I drove in the mountains - lots of 6% grades and am seeing about a 20 degree delta between ECT and EOT. Outside air temperature was 90 - 93.
At one point climbing a long hill, EOT climbed to 243, ECT was 215 or so.
