The 7.3l, I have figured, doesn't warm up real quickly. before it has taken a good 45min of highway driving for it to get up there. Just a 'cold' engine. Doesn't heat up or cool down real quickly.

been reading and have never noticed this problem before or heard of it. I am unfamiliar with the nitty gritty of the engine, but possibly try checking the fuel/water seperator or maybe your fuel pump is about to go bad. That is all I can add, best of luck with it man!!
