I've had crappy mileage this winter, and fom what I understand in my area the fuel doesn't change to a winter blend.
I came across this thread and after reading the first 30 pages......I was a little discouraged. So I read the last three and have faith it may help me out.
Ambient temp has been hovering 50 degrees today, I've driven mostly in town w some mixed freeway. I hover around 182-184 via my Edge Cts. Once got to 188.
I'm going to order one and in two weeks go on a freeway trip of 1800 miles.
I will post my results.

Did the coolant flush and Mishimoto install, along with coolant filter.
Initial test drive got temps to 200 on highway, as soon as I pulled off it dropped to 198-195, then went up to 198 and hovered there on the back roads.
We'll see how it does on a little road trip this weekend.

228* very very close to overheating pulling a 5K boat....
Got the Tstat a couple weeks ago and installed it with other goodies I was doing, new radiator, hoses, new coolant...etc
First trip out in 75-80* weather here in AZ, pulled a few grades of 3-7*, relatively short, 5-10 miles.
Even on the flats the temp was 208-214*
First thing coming out is that Tstat to try to isolate the problem...

I see you have an EGR delete. Is the EGR valve still connected electrically? Those temps coincide with an EGR valve that is disconnected, which causes the engine fan to not work properly.

Im assuming that I got all the air out of the system, I did a complet flush removed only 1 side (drivers) of the plug on the engine block, flushed it with water totally clean...drained it all and filled 4 gal.s of Ford Gold Premium into the system.
As far as temps prior to new Tstat, I don't have accurate info on that, bought the truck and ran it without a digital gauge for a couple of months. Did a few upgrades one of which was an Edge Insight and the cooling system, so no prior data....

I'm a little late to this discussion but have a question that I didn't see addressed in the previous posts..
If you change to a higher T stat won't that also increase your EOT as well?
Right now my coolant temps are running in the low 180's with the EOT's about 8 degrees above that. Wouldn't that mean that my EOT's would now approach 205 to 210 without a load?

Did you boil it hot / cold a couple cycles? I was at work when mine went in so I used a heat gun, let it cool then a heat gun again.
If I understand it correctly if it doesn't seal perfectly when it goes in, coolant will seep by and may never get warm enough to actually open/close and seal on its cycle.
