I've basically given up on trying to get any of my nearby dealerships to do anything under warranty, as I'm replacing my oil cooler on my dime.

My warranty expires this coming December, and there's no way I'm going to bother buying the ESP.

Could someone tell the exact flash number that have the capability to set this code???? I'm talking to my dealer about this and they have no clue about what ECM flash cold be done to identify this problem on the truck. Mine truck is 2006.

Thanks

So what is the absolute max on EOTs? What is the crossing point when you should be concerned? I read on Bismic's sheet 215 was the max, is the norm? Thanks for the input

Actually, his spreadsheets show 200-220 as normal, and 220-235 as severe service, with alarm at 235. Personally I think anything in the low end of the severe service range is okay when towing, as long as it is correlating with the ECT.

Yeah,
I just went back and checked:

Oil Temp (Agreed)
Normal: 200-215
Severe: 215-230
Alarm Point: 230+

Since i've had my insight (couple weeks) i haven't seen over 210 on the EOTs. However, i haven't done much towing or hard running.
