So,I kinda put the cart before the horse here,and now I have a couple ??. 2019 F250 6.7,2.5 Ready Lift,35s on stock 18s.....I installed the Carli caster bushings from reading threads here and elsewhere-had a TINY shimmy from the front at 50ish(before,not after)...like barely.Just recently bought...

I wish there was a magic bullet solution for this issue.This has bothered me as long as I have had my '11 F350.Just this past Sat.,I was pulling my 7k TT in 85* ,and my temps easily hit 260+ on a couple grades.Running an SCT tuner on tow tune.Does cool off fairly quickly on the declines,but man...

Ok,I may be way off base here with this,but what about Marvel Mystery oil?A buddy gave me a big bottle a while ago,and this thread got me wondering.I currently run Stanadyne in mine,just curious of your thoughts.I have a 2011.

Copy that.First thing.

Any thoughts on what a ****** would do or be advisable.At the very least a tuner.I'm not opposed,just don't want to make it worse.

I've noticed this too.Everyone says its a huge power draw,and you'll know when it comes on.I haven't noticed it yet.

This is the best I have right now.It does seem a little restrictive.I'll pull that off,and clean out the rad just to eliminate that. Cat..I did read Some of the info on the oil temps,just not completely convinced its "OK" I guess.New to me truck,and a total diesel noob.Appreciate your help man.

As far as I can tell they look clean.Dude does have some sort of mesh grill insert/cover thing in the grill.Maybe I'll pull that and see if it changes.Although the mech. that looked at it said the coolant temp was OK.even though there was about 25* difference from the oil temp. As an aside,the...

Here she is.....

So,dude at the dealership assumed "lift/big tires".I am running 35's,but I don't think it's lifted,just a leveling kit up front. No engine mods that I am aware of....I'm pretty sure its stock.I cleaned the air filter,when I changed to syn. oil before the trip.Just knocked the dust off,not...

I just changed the oil to Rotella 5/40 full syn. before this trip,hoping that would make ANY difference....it didn't.I'm not as much worried about the oil breaking down as much as the truck melting down.It does have 35's,but I think it is stock as far as a lift.262* wouldn't make you nervous?

I just posted this elsewhere,but it might get more play here,so I'll try again.Sorry for the repost. So I'm dealing with this issue as well,only IMO-worse.Pulling my 6600# bumper pull trailer up Silver Zone Pass,to an elevation of 5940 ft.,not sure the grade- my EOT topped out at 262*.Ive done...

Even HOTTER! So I'm dealing with this issue as well,only IMO-worse.Pulling my 6600# bumper pull trailer up Silver Zone Pass,to an elevation of 5940 ft.,not sure the grade- my EOT topped out at 262*.Ive done a bit of reading here on the forum,and this seems HOT,real hot.Ive taken this in to a...

Title says it all.This is my first experience with a diesel truck.'11 F350.Swore I'd never need one.....until I bought my 26' camper.Nonetheless,I got it now,and I've got lots of ???'s already.I won't bore you here,just thought I'd do this right with the intro first.Already learned quite a bit...
