Takes forever to get heat? normal

[GTOKILLER]

Not normal, you have a bad thermostat.

Mine where bad and I could drive for hours and barely get it to 140-150 on a cold day. After replacing them it gets up to temp with in 5 miles of the house.

SWEET!!! I hope thats all it is..... what is a normal EOT??

About 2-4 degrees above coolant temp, mine stays pretty much at 194 most of the time. You'll probably find most of the rubber on your tstats are deteriorated, so basically the coolant never gets a chance to warm up because the water pump can just constantly pump in through the motor past the tstats.

crazy I wonder y my EOT is so low then? I understand the ECT now Ill fix that tomorrow. Or is the EOT directly related to the ECT?

The coolant passing through the oil cooler is what cools the oil. So lower coolant temps will mean lower oil temps too.

 

[GTOKILLER]

thank you!! Ill update tomorrow afternoon with what I find

 

[SEABEE08FX4]

No problem bud.

Today I was random-mind-wandering and found myself wondering what GTOKILLER found, hahaha

 

[GTOKILLER]

Sorry guys truck still setting in the garage hasnt even moved yet. Im hoping to get time tomorrow morning, Ill post ASAP!!

I did drive it on Monday it was in the mid 40's EOT topped out at 87.00 after about 2 hours on the highway ECT got into the 170's

 

[CamTom12]

Yeah, I bet it's your thermostats.

Also, I wonder if your oil cooler's clogged... Once your ECT's got up, your EOT's should have followed.

 

[SEABEE08FX4]

What are you using to read the oil temp ?

 

[GTOKILLER]

SCT Livewire 9650-OR

This is after 45 min on the highway today.

I bought both new thermostats today only $25 but wow what a job to change em, this is going to take a little bit!!


ECT 190 & EOT 90

 

[CamTom12]

It's a whole lot easier after an EGR delete

 

[SEABEE08FX4]

Okay that makes sense then, the SCT reads the EOT in C not F so that's 90* C or 194* F. So that's normal then.

 

[GTOKILLER]

ahh **** really?? Not I really feel stupid:fustrate: seems perfect then!!

 

[CamTom12]

Other than crazy slow to warm up, seems good!

I had no idea SCT's units were all over the place!

 

[GTOKILLER]

minor details right :doh:

 

[Jmoore1225]

I was having the same issue haha, so I thought. I was actually thinking that it was possibly reading it in celcious on way home from work last night & to work today....
