What looks odd from the numbers I posted is why my IAT are almost 200deg when I’m in the throttle on every hill. Seems like the intake is only sucking in air right off the radiator when the rpm’s are up and the fan kicks in

I think the thermostat is good, temps go back down the 120 mark along with fuel rail temp so that’s just above t stat temp. I just dropped it off at Ford for them to look over everything, thankfully I’m good friends with the GM and service managers so they don’t care about all the aftermarket...

Pic of boot starting to melt

Hooked up to the toy hauler this afternoon and pulled 70mi across some good hills at 80mph to work everything pretty hard and get some temp data and verify it with a temp gun. 17k lbs 43' Toyhauler Tyrant tow tune Pulling 80mph 85 deg outside temp 4500' elevation at the lowest, not sure what i...

Trans temps run right with oil temps cause they moved it to the primary system on the 17’s. My fuel rail temps sit at 125-130 towing so those seem in check with the secondary system temps.

I think the temps are high cause every time I hook up to a trailer things start to melt, and everytime I drive the truck I get code p026a which is saying the temps are too high. Truck does run ok, still makes upper 30’s max for boost but doesn’t feel like it has quite the power it should...

Haven’t tested in any way now, not sure how I’d go about that. I do know that after I replaced the the CAC I topped off the tank, drove it several times and kept topping off the tank as it got the air out of the system and since then the level hasn’t budged in 2k miles and hasn’t puked at all...

It’s been in the 90’s here, so IAT’s are over 100 anyways. One 17 250 is running Ez Lynk with same tyrant tow tune and he pulled the same stretch of hey at 80mph and he varied from 4-14deg depending on flat/up/down of the road, I was 40-60deg on the same stretch at the same time same speed...

The turbo shaft will almost touch wall to wall, not sure if that's normal or if as long as it doesn't touch and has no in and out movement then it's good. It could be the powder coat job, but the factory ford turbo boot is also starting to melt and deform a little, which makes me lean towards...

So looking at some more stuff today, the factory hot boot off the turbo is melting to the hot side pipe, the powder coat under the clamps is melting and scraping off and the hot pipe tube is turning silver now from green I’m assuming due to heat. Checked turbine wheel play and up and down it...

Here’s a pic of the cold side of the stock CAC that I replaced when it melted intake, also another pic of the inside of the melted intake. I think I didn’t pay very good attention and only looked at the hot side of CAC for leaks which was dry, looks like there is coolant in there on the cold...

It happened when I had the stock cac in there, which is why I put the NL cac in there. Should I swap it back out again? I bought the Bluetooth thing for it but never actually followed through getting forscan, maybe I need to do that today

The NL egr dlt also the bypass plate Other things to note, Sitting at idle my engine load is at 18-20%, cruising on flat ground at 80mph it's at 50% Exhaust manifold pressure reads 0psi all the time, replaced with new sensor, still always 0. Assuming Tyrant has that setup that way in the...

Ok, I've got more info on my setup in the thread I just posted

I don't believe with the ez lynk I can read the secondary coolant temp. When I had the stock CAC and the intake manifold went into melt down mode there was no coolant in the CAC or any of the lines when I removed them. Didn't see any coolant in the NL CAC when the boot blew but haven't checked...
