Help with Torque App

I am having a little trouble with my torque app., it reads everything but EOT just fine. My EOT is giving a steady 32 degrees. I am an old fart trying to understand technology...lol. Is there something else I need to download (I have torque pro). Thanks

Nothing else to download, but you may need to edit the pid, im at work now and dont have access to my phone. But hopefully someone else can chime in with the correct one. Its towards the end think its supposed to be a - instead of +

((((A*256)+B)/100)-40)*(9/5)+32

Here is a thread:

Forums — » Torque OBD ECU Scanner » Torque Discussion / Ideas » Ford 6.0L Diesel Extended PIDSTorque

The developer also had shared this one. They both do the same thing. I have used both, and they match my Scangauge II.

( ( ( A * 256 ) + B ) / 100 ) – 40

(I put spaces in between to make it easier to read, do not put in the spaces!!!)

Ok that fixed it. Many thanks. I just bought this truck and didn't get a chance to check the deltas before I bought it. It was such an awesome deal I couldn't pass it up. Drove for about five miles at 63 miles an hour, EOT and ECT never went beyond 7degrees. While on flat ground it stayed a steady 5 degrees. I'm pretty excited about it

If you look in the tech folder at the top, there are exact directions on determining if your deltas are okay.

It's damn good, you are golden. What do EOT and ECT read after a cold soak, before starting?

I just bought an 05 F250 with the 6.0 on Monday. Are you guys using Torque Pro (obd2 and car) ? And where do you get the adapter? I'd like to check all the stuff you guys are talking about. Can you pick up the adapter at autozone or someplace like that?

Here is the adapter I use. Have one for all three of my vehicles and it works great with the Torque Pro App.

You have had good results with this adapter then? Good to know. (just went and read you liked it on another forum )

I ended up with a PLX Kiwi.

Here is a Vgate that has been shown to work well.

ELM327 v1.5 OBDII Bluetooth Auto Car Diagnostic Scan Tool - White (12V) - Free Shipping - DealExtreme

I see in these adds some more that are for sale. The blue and gold ones look like my first one. Didn't work well. Thus bought the PLX KIWI.

Sean,
I bought one first, tried it on all my vehicles and loaded each ones profile into the Torque menu and it worked well. Then I bought a couple more so I didn't have to move it back and forth. Even retrieved trouble codes off my wifes Liberty and deleted the codes as well.
