One thing to also consider when looking at temp gun readings vs temp probe readings is the probe is actually in the fluid where the temp gun is reading the material between the actual liquid and the gun itself and some energy has already been given up through heat tranfer. If this has already been pointed out in this thread i apologize and will learn to read better

ya I read that last Night and saw you just put a new Oil cooler in
And if you have that big of spread Already on a New Oil Cooler you got Problems
Be it the Oil Cooler or a Temp sender everything I read in hte other thread pointed to sensors are OK and Oil Cooler junked again
Was the truck Cooling system flushed Prior to the new Oil Cooler??????

He was supposed to, and said at the time that he did. I agree that resludging APPEARS to be the issue. However, 14-15 is less than "no more than 15" so Ford would say normal, but just barely. Also, it ran 11-13 typically as soon as I got it back from the stud job. Finally, I have a coolant filter in place and, after the first 500 miles with the filter, a saws-all job on the filter showed essentially no sludge. If it doesn't hit the filter it shouldn't be in the oil cooler either, right?

Filter was before new cooler. I too was disappointed by the initial numbers being double digits. No one seems to pick up on the fact that the ECT did not go up at all while the EOT went past 225 due to low coolant. I had to add a half gallon of coolant to get it back to 1" below the min line. Is this not significant of something?

Hopefully you have by now and his is unnecessary, but I just replaced it since it was getting studs anyway. The other reason I replaced it was that the delta was consistently running 12-14 at hwy speeds and thus I figured it was about time anyway. Those temps improved very little despite the new cooler, often getting to 11-13. It got worse last week when the coolant level dropped due to the degas bottle hole. I'm about to leave to find out what it will do now.
I see maybe time to look at a Few other things like a Water Pump Flow Issue Just cause the Fact that Deltas did NOT Improve even Breifly after a New Oil Cooler
OEM Water Pump had Plastic Impellar and can have problems
Updated water pumps have Metal Impellar

I wonder if it Purged air out the cooling system from the Headstud Work????
Is it still Losing Coolant or Hold steady Now??????
Might be to Late Now but If you could Cut open the Old Oil Cooler that would Help a TON to see if it Pluged from junk or was Clean inside would lead to Possible Coolant flow Issue

Right but if the Coolant Temp sender isnt imersed in Coolant then it reports Wrong
#42
Hmmm, well that makes sense. It's swimming in coolant now. Today's data is my first sample on the interstate. Driving around town, the delta is usually 6-8. My plan for now is to just watch it and see what happens for the next several days, or until it declares itself. I appreciate your help, and if you think if anything else, let me know.

What Type Coolant is in it????
Hope coolant is Not Green!
Ford Gold or a Properly Rated ELC is Fine
I know you have a EGR Deleate so there is alittle room for Play in the Deltas (But you still need Cooled Oil IMO) but its Not as Criticle
Is your EGR Valve still installed and plugged in????
If I was in your shoes here the next thing that I would check would be the Water Pump and check the Front cover for Cavitation a Coolant flow issue will also cause high EOT
Also swap them sensors ECT and EOT see what you get might also be worth checking the Wires from PCM to the Sensors to

It may be. He said he gets good results with "the regular kind". What will that do? I had the gold in it prior to the studs.

I'm told the the EGR is not necessary for a 2003, and Matt of SCT tuning fame seems to agree from our previous conversations.
