they are not close according to the ISSPRO

this is after a 15 minute drive at 55 mph. but it is 0°F still

gauge i’m using. but i’m not sure if it’s hooked up

 

oil pressure seems high. maybe the oil isn’t warming up

 

i bought the Ford PIDs for dash command. i’ll monitor oil temp on the way home

 

coolant temperature is colder than oil. if oil cooler was plugged wouldn’t coolant be running hot?

also the isspro gauge must not be hooked up or working

 

Grab an infra red temp gun and point it the thermostat housing then point it directly at the oil cooler and see what temps you get

 

i will do that. good idea

 

I guess my question is if somebody put stop leak in the coolant would not the coolant side of the oil cooler be plugged? Therefore making the coolant temperature hotter? I don’t believe they used stop leak in the oil.

 

Coolant cools off engine oil not the other way around.
Coolant passes thru the cooler to cool of the oil, once plugged coolant takes the path of less resistance, so your left with oil not being cooled off, in the oil cooler.

i did some more messing around with the app i’m using to monitor. i’m thinking the coolant temp PID is reading incorrectly

 

I know with autoenginuity there is no way to read coolant temp and the reading you do get is incorrect. I think the coolant temp sensor pretty much just runs the dash gauge. I freaked out because mine was reading 280 degrees and after some research that is what I found.

 

yeah i’m trying not to over react. i didn’t think about it at first. but when you first start the rig it reads negative °F. so i didn’t even think about it at first

coolant temp shows negative. so i think it’s incorrect. obviously

 

Oil temp can be read but coolant can't be read.

 

that is why i use torque pro instead of AE for quick glance readings.

 

I bought AE to help get the truck running. Now that it is, I think I'm going to add a Edge. AE is pretty awesome but a PITA for anything else but diagnostics. I just wish the Edge was not $415 because its going to be a few minutes before I can do that. Duramax needs tires and the 7.3 needs a hitch and both are going to come before the edge.

 

torque pro is free download to your phone. the obdlink mx usb blootooth adapter is $140 on amazon:
