    6.0 delta's are high

    Thanks for all the input guys. I put a new T-stat in it last night and helped big time. My ECT is back up to 190* and my EOT is sitting at 200. I ran it about 25 miles at 65 MPH and it hovered right there. The highest I saw was an 11* difference when I put my foot in it. You guys are awesome.

    6.0 delta's are high

    I was running 178* with the rad blocked. I'm going to put a t-stat in it tomorrow and hope that helps

    6.0 delta's are high

    powerstroked162, It's around -20* or so currently. Haven't had a lot of days that are above 0* so I'm sure maybe this has something to do with it?

    6.0 delta's are high

    Ok, it just stays at a constant 178* whether I'm hard on the throttle or not. Because if I'm not mistaken the ECT should be around 190* correct?

    18 degree differences wtf?

    Interested to see if this helps for you. I'm running identical temperatures in my '03 6.0 right now. Let us know how it works for you!

    6.0 delta's are high

    Also, I live in Minnesota so the air temps right now are anywhere from -20* to 30* if that helps.

    6.0 delta's are high

    I have a 2003 6.0 and am reading 178 engine coolant temp and about 200 for my oil temp which puts me in the 22 degrees difference range. I understand ideal coolant temp should be at 190 so should I maybe try a new T-stat to get my deltas closer, or would that bring my oil temp higher as well...

    6.0 coolant level low?

    Thanks heavyassault! I'm going to double check my delta on a second source to be sure of everything but that gives me a little relief.

    6.0 coolant level low?

    I have EOT and ECT gauges in my truck but they're glowshift junk (came with the truck), so I'll be scanning on my way home. But according to my gauges that are in the pillar I'm between 7-10 roughly.

    6.0 coolant level low?

    Not sure where my deltas are at, I will be hooking up my SCT to it to read them on the way home from work. But the coolant was between the minimum level and the max level when I did the flush which was 3K miles ago. Loboost, the truck is not studded yet and I have the EGR delete kit but haven't...

    6.0 coolant level low?

    I have an EGR delete kit for it, just haven't installed it, so if it is a major issue I'm hoping it's that!

    6.0 coolant level low?

    I have an '03 6.0 and had a coolant flush on it 3,000 miles ago and haven't checked it since. I just checked it and it looks a little low (about an inch below the min mark, also the truck was cold and shut off when I checked it), anyway, I don't have much for residue, just a little spot here and...

    SCT tuner questions

    I just installed an SCT SF3 in my '03 6.0 with stock gaskets and tranny. Does anybody know if the race tune that comes on the SF3 is safe for my stock motor? I'm currently running it on street and like it. Also, is it safe to lock the torque converter in a stock trans/converter? Any answers...

    Bought my first powerstroke this weekend!!!

    Congrats on the truck! I wish I had the ZF6 in mine. Sounds like you have a bullet proof set up already but I agree with Bretferd, I'd upgrade your clutch if it hasn't been already.

    Ok, thanks for the advice. It's my first powerstroke so I'm still learning.
