[QUOTE="B585Ford, post: 1018990, member: 5497"] OK, I guess that is the explanation will do. More than anything, I just wanted to make sure there wasn't something I was missing about the cooling system. I never ran into ECT temp issues to date. IIRC the highest I have seen is 209 and that was a 6 or 7% grade for several miles grossing 32500. My observations are the same as yours though...my truck has 3.73s (SRW) and 35s but I do have a manual tranny. I try to keep it in OD at all times to keep oil temps in check. Of course that does raise the EGTs but they are almost never an issue with my setup and tuning. Like yours, my oil heats quicker the coolant and I can see close to 20 degree deltas under extreme conditions. The only difference I have is once I crest a hill, my EOTs come down almost as fast as the ECTs, but I am dropping into OD as soon as I can and I have a lot taller gears so that might be more RPM related.
