temp values seem high?
Coolant 206
eot 208
trans 206
delta 2.3 wasn't at 65 mph ... Under 50 around town.
Here's my question. I installed a new mishimoto radiator, and did a flush on coolant system. Added 4 gallons of cat1 rated coolant and a new stant thermostat. Was trying to wait on my mishimoto thermostat but need to get truck back together. Wouldn't you know it showed up late today...
anyways.. cool night here in florida... driving around town city traffic always under 50mph.
Are theses values on the high side? I am running new t6 and arcoil. Also.. any issues with the stant thermostat and would you tear it out to put the mishimoto thermostat in as it's on the work bench. I was going to wait till next coolant flush but now I'm questioning it.

Ok.. so 174 sounds better.. lol
what about the other temps. The value sheets say 190. Will the mishimoto thermostat drop them a little? It's not even summer here ... I can only imagine how much this engine is going to work during June and july.

Your coolant temp seems high for putzing around. See if there is another ect gauge. (I can't remember) also, do you recall your fan speeds when ect was 206?

mishimoto offers a 200*F thermostat the oem is 190 or 192 can't remember. If you have the 200*f mishimoto in theory it should not Lower them unless your other one is stuck. I never have watched my temps in stop and go traffic. Try to get out and do the 65mph run on the flat and see where your temps are after things stabilize. Did you have the a/c running? The condenser in front of the radiator gets pretty darn hot and can raise temps a little.

Yes... ac was running on low.
So your saying in theory the mishimoto might raise temps even more being a 200*
not saying the stant thermostat isn't sticking as it's brand new. It could be though.

Something to consider the Ford thermostat fails in the open position. Most stants fail in the closed position. I do not know if stant has a specialone for the 6.0 or not. All I have ever used on a 6.0 is Fords
