We are trying to buy a 6l,we have a scanner temps are ect 190 eot was 240 look like 50 delta to me. 3 trucks tested delta 50 + for all of them. Are we doing something wrong? If we did buy one of these trucks with 50 + delta would this mean the start of engine damage, should we buy it and flush & do the cooler or run. The last truck that we tested had 50 delta with a new oil cooler(3000miles ago),done by Ford. Could they have done this work with out flushing? Thanks

Find a truck that you know has good readings and check your scanner, if you haven't already.

There have been oil coolers plug back up during and after a flush. Not often, but it has happened.

Smart shopper with a scanner!

Thanks,we checked the next truck that had an edge tuner its delta was 3 and our scanner was 5 delta. An hour after that we tried another that had 25 delta. We spent from 5:30am till 10:00pm test driving short box crew f350 6l. My son (he's 20, who wants the truck) is disappointed with the readings. No truck for him! I'm not afraid of doing the cooler but I just would like to know if other engine components have been affected by the HOT oil? I've tried to search the forum

With EOT that high I would be a little nervous about it. That almost sounds like the cooler is almost completely clogged. Even towing a 4000 lb boat a couple weeks ago my delta was 5*
