Hi all! I just got done having a BulletProof Diesel kit installed and ARP head stud kit installed. All the kits used were from BulletProofDiesel. So before all the work got done my ECT was 180 and EOT was 220 @ freeway speeds (80) here in South Dakota. The intake air temp was just about spot on with real life.
After all the work got done i.e. cab off head removal (heads were decked at machine shop) the BulletProofDiesel oil cooler kit was installed with all the ford gaskets and stuff. Everything was primed as it should be. The intake manifold was "HOT tanked" The motor really sounds a lot smoother!!!
Here is where it gets alittle weird... The IAT is now ~15-20deg hotter than real life? How do I know? I have a Edge Insight that is on the dash.
So could it be the IAT2 sensor and/or the MAF on the intake?
FWIW, the new thermostat from BPD is a 190Deg therm vs. the old one ~175ish and now the degas bottle is warmer, ALSO the BPD oil lines are right next to the MAF an runs over the Fuel bowl lines as well.
Kinda lost as to what to do. I call BulletProof Diesel in AZ waiting to hear from them. Thinking about wrapping the intake with thermal exhaust wrap to insulate the sensor. Or, replacing the IAT2 and MAF to correct the issue...
