[QUOTE="TARM, post: 1011970, member: 578"] I have done exactly what you are talking about and I have seen the results as well. I know I am throwing tech stuff out there and I am certainly not doing it as means of talking down to or way to win an argument. It was done to help pass on info and increase peoples knowledge. I said I do agree that a T stat opening sooner can be used to get ahead of a temp peak such as a heavy load going up a incline for a few mins. I have yet to see people have these issues that had coolant and oil temps within the 20 degree range. I am only guessing here but when your oil temp was 250 your coolant temp was not up to 230 was it? So it was lower? Did you ever change out or pull your oil cooler and check all the passages? I am being sincere here. I have no wish to just win some argument. Its stupid. I honestly want real data and compare my experince and knowledge with those of others. I can lay out all the data in the world but if I can not find out why it does or does not match up with real world stats what good is it!?! I honestly have not come across a single situation in the 7.3 where if the oil temp was way out of range from the coolant it was not an issue with the oil cooler or running very high egts etc.. There has always been some issue. One was the block had been filled a good bit. That surely is not to indicate that this is the only answer and I have seen it all. Far from it. Only that so far all of these do line up with the info and what you call the " science" of it all. That is what my experience has been. The transfer of heat to and from the coolant and oil is setup in terms of size of the oil cooler to handle the volume and flow rate from both pumps ( LPOP and coolant pump) to keep the rates within that range. But this is only if all the passages in the block and oil cooler are not restricted. If its all good then every time I have seen the oil cooler or the ports leading into it was restricted. In the end we can both talk to we are blue in the face. If you have a 180 T stat and it keeps your oil above 190-212 at very light loads such as cruising 1900 rpms and also keeps it under 250 then it works plan and simple. Hard to argue with that in terms of real world results. [/QUOTE]
