I disagree. I have run same terrain, in same ambient temps, same loads, same speeds, anything that I could control I maintained it as close as I could and the only difference(that I could control) was the file that was on the truck(mainly did this when I was trying to learn everything with the different tunes and figure out when to use or not use tunes etc). There was a significant difference in water and oil temps based off of that. I'm not talking one or two degrees, I'm talking the difference between 195 and 210 for water(I only had ECT at the time, i would imagine that if everything was working right that EOT would follow ECT ~15 degrees).
