The HD f150 needed 2 coil packs so I'm in a regular 150 with 485k miles now. Listening to my truck run while they do a few more coolant flushes this 5" MBRP sounds good!

rub it in…

Makes sense. I'd be worried about blocking the new cooler. But that should be clean from the first flush

Haha we got my bros down pipe out and stuck the new pipe on no more than the downside and cranked it right up lol just to hear it for a second!!

I did my brothers exhaust on his 6.0 by myself its easy even the dp. Took about an hour to remove the old and install new system. Dan you better bring your ass to the dyno on Saturday

I ran my 7.3 like that for about a week until I got my stacks on.
My truck now just has a 4' pipe stuck on the end of the down pipe with a 45* turn down. Still just as loud only now its behind the cab.

How is the truck running Dan?

What are acceptable deltas?

Less than 14* difference iirc. Most mine ever gets is 8-10* difference

Mine are 14° wot and I was that it was on its way out, but fine for now.

Cruising I've seen 8-12 most of the time, as high as 15.

If I romp on it a little the deltas get lower. Make sense?

About 30 mins from home

Hm…your oil cooler was replaced right?
My highest delta was @ 199° and 213° And that was getting in it real hard. With a new cooler I'd expect the delta to be <10, but I'm sure someone more experienced will chime in.

Nearly every cooler I've done (quite a few), had at MOST 7-9* deltas.

Like I stated earlier...that last flush would have made me very very Leary.

High 170s low 180s ect
High 180s low 190s eot

At idle it's only 3-5 difference?

Josh@DirtyDiesels · Oct 4, 2013

man that seems a lot cooler than mine. Mine is usually mid 180s mid 190s coolant and 190-200 oil

Powerstroke214 · Oct 4, 2013

I was under the impression that you should flush on the old cooler, because it could stir up sediments from the initial casting. Which could go through and clog the cooler.

Idk, I was driving it easy and it was prob 65-70* outside.

Anyways, made it home. Truck seems to run well other than delta issue. The 5" exhaust sounds REALLY good

I did notice that I have a exhaust rattle, I think the downpipe needs some adjustment to get it off the firewall maybe. Also i was braking semi-hard for a red light and heard a clunk, then a louder harder clunk. Thought it was the brakes, but I think it was the exhaust. When I shut the doors once I got home I heard metal rattling so i'm thinking one of the clamps came loose or off.

this TS is kinda screwy too. The thing was reading 3000* egts at first and still only shows my truck doing a max of 2psi of boost. So who knows if it's even reading my temps right :shrug:

You need a thermostat to start with. But that shouldn't affect deltas...the lower the ect, the lower the eot should be regardless of ect....

Was a ford cooler used or a dorman?

Fwiw I've never seen 15* deltas in a new Ford oil cooler.

O2ShootTheJ · Oct 4, 2013

To be honest I'm not sure I assumed a ford one but I'll have to ask

I highly doubt he used a dorman to be honest...most reputable shops wouldn't even think about it.

I'd just drive it as planned...if it clogs I imagine Adam will make it right.
