I'd probably do an egr delete as well (just the cooler)

2004 High Delta's
Picked up my truck last week. Runs great, fires right up every time. Bought Scangauge II yesterday to keep an eye on temps and other things. This morning outside temp was 65* and ECT was 186* and EOT was 216*. I'm assuming this would be a clogged oil cooler, or is there a T-stat problem?
2004 F250 112K miles. 4" lift w/35's other than that completely stock. It was a one owner truck and the owner had everything done at stealership including oil changes.
Any help would be great!

Your t-stat is a little on the cool side but not enough to mess up your temp. spred. If those temps were talen on flat ground cruising between 60 and 65 mph then I'd say you need an oil cooler asap since your at a 30 degree spred.

The deltas don't really mean anything until you're fully warmed up and cruising at highway speeds on level ground. Mine are all over the place, too, until I get on the highway -- then they stick usually with 5-8 degrees of each other.
I wouldn't worry about it at all unless you see this behavior on the highway.

If you an EGR delete the the temp spread doesn't mean as much.
However, you'll still eventually need a new cooler.

I'd be afraid of tempting fate and having the oil cooler burst. Cleaning an oily cooling system is a PIA and can be expensive.
