I believe your gauge is showing tft as the ect too. Try unplugging your odb device and then reinstall to fix it.
The ect should rise fairly fast compared to tft or eot.
My tft never gets above 160s, my ect and eot will both get to 190 eventually..
Can't see pics on my mobile, just going off the text.

Weeknights I could be at Clark/41 by 7 pm or sometime on the weekend. What's the longest you drove the truck and what were the ect and eot? Don't want you to drive all the way down and hurt it.

However, I am still not convinced it's time for the OP to replace his oil cooler.
I am in a similar climate to him and 30 minutes of around town, stop/go/romp throttle for the fun of it type of driving yields about 205F ECT(I am still purging air from the system, though, I think, after recent mx). Even with mild driving it climbs to 190 quite quickly and stays there.
So, to the OP, once you get your ECT up to spec you can start taking note of ECT/EOT splits. Until then it's not something you can diagnose properly.

Trainhornman, IMO your gauges are reading what they are supposed to be reading. Trans temp looks normal to me, oil temp looks normal, and coolant temp looks to be indicating correctly and shows that you are running too cold. I think if you get that fixed(new OEM thermostat) you'll be in good shape.

Alright so another set of results. 70 degrees outside. Turned her on:

after 10 min warm up :

Then a 30 min drive and at shutoff:

I have not seen coolant temp this high before. And oil is still going over 200. So confused :/

Your truck is possessed. ECT's are not consistant, but your EOT is consistantly 20* + higher than ECT which means the oil cooler is plugging up.
I've never seen a T-stat work right one day and be stuck open the next, but that's what it acts like.

I'm beginning to think the same. Just got one the highway to get to work. EOT went to 228 and ect was at 176. At red light now it's at 184

And you could be absolutely Correct!!!!!
But for some reason his ECT Sensor sounds Whacked out to Me he Varies 20+ *f day to day
his first pics he had 4*f diff in 2 screen shots that was taken very close together
Then One day he runs ECT 170*f and the Next he at 192*f and gussing he made the same drive to work but that's A lot to be diffrent
If I was in his shoes I would swap the EOT & ECT Sensors location there the same so
And then if his EOT starts to act Erratic
And would be a Good Idea to throw a thermostat at it just to rule out it sticking

New thermostat, and I suggest you consider an investment in a bulletproof oil cooler with remote filter and you'll be a happy camper. It's considerably more expensive than just replacing an Oem cooler, but the Oem system is flawed, as is the oil filtration and bypass system. I was unlucky enough to have to replace my newly replaced oil cooler because it immediately clogged up with sediment that broke loose once the flow became uncorrected again due to the new cooler.
