Question Temp Problems

Hello Everone,

I am new on the block. I have a 2004 F-350 crew cab with a 6.0 automatic. I have added the oversized exhaust, enclosed cold air intake and a Bullydog PMT programmer. I can't believe the differance in the power, but I am having coolant over heating problems, I think. The programmer has the defuel option on it and they set the defuel setting at 210 degrees. Is this correct. I'm not sure what the operating temp should be. I had Ford flush the system, intall all new hoses, new thermastat, new coolant, new EGR valve and new EGR cooler. Ford replaced the oil cooler about a year ago. When I hook my 34' fifth wheel on it, it reaches 210 degrees pretty quick and defuels.

Any ideas. I need help

Welcome to

This is the discussion forum for the 2009 F-150. You might want to post in either the 6.0 diesel forum:

2003 - 2007 6.0L Power Stroke Diesel - Ford Truck Enthusiasts Forums

Or the Super Duty forum:

Super Duty And Heavy Duty - Ford Truck Enthusiasts Forums

They're on down the page a bit, you'll get answers quicker there.
