Can you get a hold of a ScaneGauge2 or another gauge to measure EOT and ECT, just to see if it reads different than yours. Also, if you can get to them, you can take the volt readings right from the sensor itself. Did you take note of what the temp readings are cold?
Just throwing some ideas out there.

this tuner plugs in under the hood to some main harnesses, near the battery.
Cheezit posted good advice and I read the TSB he referred to. I realized I didn't have all the diagnostic tools so I took it to Ford this AM. OUCH!!!!!!
they said I am back to square one and need new head gasket again. They suggested heads get checked out for cracks. I know they were checked for warpage last time. I ASKED for them to get looked at by a machine shop, but i don't think they did. Oh, I got 12K miles between head gasket jobs on this repair (20,000 KM).
FWIW, I have been running Edge Platinum on level 2 when I tow, and level 1 or level 3 for regular driving. I have not driven hard or like a fool. I have constantly monitored my temps for EOT, ECT, tranny and exhaust. NEVER have any of them jumped high.
Funny tidbit....I removed the new ford rad cap from when last job was done, and put on my other new Ford rad cap. They did it again!! They put on another cap and charged me $16.
cheezit & any/all others, how long does it take to do the TSB procedure, and what is a reasonable amount of time to charge? I'll post after what I was charged. i don't want to taint anyone's answer.

I expected shop would charge me a flat rate of max 1 hour for diagnosis, even if they went a bit over, especially at $123/hr. And the BS 'spiel ahead of time about how they wanted to help me, work with me, create a new customer,
, might also indciate they'd charge me a nominal amount. i was expecting no more than $100. they concluded: "Road test with pressure gauge. system badly overpressurizing. Vehicle has head studs. Will require heads removed and sent out for crack testing".
never did get a clear answer on my EOT vs. ECT.
bismic, I have Ford head gaskets.

ok, thanks. I was looking for the diagnostic time, so 2 hours sounds pretty standard.I probably feel a bit more prison raped with a $300 diagnosis bill to tell me I need to spend $8,000 to fix something that just got fixed 10 months/12K miles ago.
