OIL COOLER QUESTION
I was recently pulling an empty 14 foot motorcycle trailer from orlando to Tallahassee and i noticed that my EOT/ECT delta was 12-14 degrees. I have since started looking into oil cooler replacement and the BPD oil cooler. I have heard that to replace the oem oil cooler, there is a lot of labor intensive work. My question is does the BPD air-oil cooler relocation include having to remove the oem cooler or does it essentially just bypass the cooler leaving it in place but not having oil fed to it?
TL;DR is a BPD oil cooler going to cost less to install than an OEM direct replacement
2003 F250 6.0L EGR delete, head studs, 4in BDS all spring lift

During a recent trip unloaded I was seeing numbers varying from 10-12 degrees. It was about 85 degrees outside. Oil temps were about 210 and ect was low
What do you mean I can throw the 15 out the window? What other signs should i look for? the truck occasionally surges at idle when warm but no surging during actual driving

When your oil cooler plugs it starves the egr cooler of coolant, in turn can cause it to rupture.without it your splits don't mean much. Now 15 degree split doesn't mean you cooler is not plugged it just means without the egr you can run higher temps

Attn KIDkiser. Please elaberate on test for cooler.
I currently have no issue but after reading your answer I am curious.
So at operating temp going down high way temp should be ?? with what kind of variance??
Thanks

Fully warmed up coolant temp should be above 185° below that the computer throws more fuel to try to warm it up 188°-192° with a stock tstat is pretty much the norm for an empty truck some will run a bit warmer depending on the tstat ambient temp and other varibles. The test is to be preformed with an empty truck that is fully warmed up on flat highway at 65 mph for 15 min oil temp should be within a max 15° of coolant temp over 15° is when ford considers the oil cooler clogged. If your egr is deleted you can go higher than that 15° and not worry about starving the egr cool and it rupturing but oil cooler is still clogged but seeing as your in California Id say it's a pretty safe bet you still have an egr cooler. You will need a obdii gauge to read live data from the pcm to perform this test.
