PO128 code override?

I recently just installed the Mishmoto aluminum radiator and low-temp thermostats in my 2008 F-250. Every so often my truck with get a check engine light with the code “PO128” which has something to do with the coolant temp being too low. My coolant temp runs around 170 degrees or so. Is there a way to over ride this code? Or would my only solution be to re-install my stock thermostats?

The code means the engine has not reached the expected warm up temp.

so if you have a thermostat that opens early....the pcm will cede this as a engine warm up problem.

youcantchange this on a 6.4 thru programming.


i would install the correct thermost
