thermostat
Where can I find out what degree thermostat my 05 F350 has installed from the factory? It is a 6.0. I just installed an Edge Insight and it looks like the thermostat opens at 185 on teh Insight reading I would like to know if this is an accuratte reading or if the insight is a few degrees off. Thanks for any input.
Sounds right to me, too

Thanks for the information. My local parts store said it was a 192 to 195 thermostat. so I feel pretty confident in the readings. I can always add 5 to 10 degress in my mind to make sure it stays cool enough when towing in the summer.
I currently have ECT, EGT, Boost and trans temps on display. I just wanted a good base line before I reload my Spartan tunes.
Will the temps change a lot in the summer months especially on EGT? Will I need to run another stock baseline in June?
Thanks

I am no expert, but it was my understanding that running hotter is better for diesel engines. I realize that there is a breaking point for when you are really working with loads, towing, etc. Am I right? If so, what is a "better" running temp and what thermostat gets that for you?
