Engine Temperature displayed by Numbers on Information Cluster

I was towing, in high heat on a grade with AC on, a digital displayed of a numbered (ex 195) temperature appeared on the Information Cluster. The number changed increasingly, then it decreased and then it disappeared. There were no messages or warning displays associated with it. I have never have seen this before.

Have any of you experienced this? Is this a new addition to the F250 or as it always been there? There is nothing in the manual. I have at least 30,000 miles of towing with no change in setup, but episode mentioned is the only July trip.

Look forward to any feedback 😀

I believe the number will display when engine coolant temperature is deemed to be at a critical level. Then it disappeared again when your temp reached a normal level.

It is normal for the number to be displayed as the gauge starts to move north of center.

This should be accompanied by the clutch fan kicking on high (sounds like an airplane) to cool it down. Fairly rapid cooling.

all working as it should.

You can modify your truck using ForScan to continuously show your engine temperature.

Mine did the same thing after plowing. Was going down the highway with plow on and skidloader trailer behind and mine started posting temp. Slowed down a bit and it went down and off.
