I've been monitoring my temps with my Edge CTS since I got the truck. I've done the usual bullletproofing sans the studs. I still have a EGR, but it's the Bulletproof Diesel version. I'm also running the ELC with a bypass filter not the Ford Gold.
For the last month I've been without my CTS as it was being repaired. At the same time the engine sprung a couple of leaks. I ended up getting the Water Pump replaced and a heater hose. I also had them flush the coolant out and replace with more ELC, and changed the filter. Truck has 171,000 miles. They also fixed a cracked fan shroud.
Once I had the truck back and got my CTS back I noticed the Delta between the temps was higher than normal. Running around town I was seeing 10 to 14 degree spreads with a 40 minute drive in town. On the interstate it was about the same. I towed my trailer around town and saw spreads from 12 to 18 degrees in the same 40 minute drive. I changed my tune from stock to the 50HP Towing tune loaded in the SCT3 and nothing changed.
My water temp is barely cracking 190 and the oil is mid 190's to 204. I'm due for an oil change shortly but I figured that shouldn't affect it.
Could the new water pump be causing the ECT to be lower than usual? Is it possible for the Oil Cooler to have clogged again, after several years of the ELC?
Thanks,
Joe
