I dont know if it will or not. I have found nothing that says it will. But this well give us the awnser.
I would not be surprised if it did to tell you the truth. The reason being is that operation with boost at 30+ (maybe 28+) can cause heads to begain to lift. Ford is tring very hard to reduce claims and IMO this is a good way. so at the very least a smart person would shut the truck off and wait a min then restart. this may act alone may reset the vgt and unstick the turbo for a short time.

I was thinking about suggesting it, but don't really have any concrete reason to recommend it (except - "can't hurt").

Now I don't want everyone to laugh all at once, but the other day I was driving my truck and I swear I heard something like morse code or something behind the dash. It was real faint but I did hear something I was like, what the he** is that? Weird huh? And no I don't see UFO's and aliens, or smoke wacky weed. Do drink on occasion and it might be related to being introduced to much diesel fumes.

I went ahead and did a vgt relearn on the truck. I couldn't get into the shop today so if it pops up again I will take it in and see if there is any codes thrown. Drove it 80 miles and the truck runs good. So maybe that was the problem or maybe it isn't. Time will tell.

I have the same wrench with OBD 11 code P-012F
No limp mode. Truck still runs fine.
EOT = 220 -230
ECT = 194 - 196
Loosing about a gallon of coolant evaporating every 100 miles or so. But no limp mode.

Any ideas on this issue ?
Thank you

Almost 10 year old thread. Anyways, with your temps and limited info first thing I'd suspect is a clogged oil cooler that may of caused a cracked EGR cooler.
I would first do a coolant flush to prep the system, replace the oil cooler and then test for a bad EGR cooler and replace if cracked and leaking.

Thanks.
I have already done a flush. No debris or any signs of debris.
Mall fluid came out clear. Also hard to detect any fluid coming out of any hoses or engine area.
Oil level is good.
No coolant in any of the fluids.
I am also getting a white residue blowing on top of engine area and would assume that could be the coolant lose I am getting ?
Also replaced both Engine and Coolant temp sensors. The Coolant temp sensor was rusted and almost deformed looking. Lol
Also I should have mentioned this truck was Bulletproofed if that helps you with any other thoughts ? Also running SCT Tuner.Just FYI
Thank you for any insight,thoughts or suggestions....
