Just looking for an answer from a few different sources.
Does your ECT and EOT temps read close to the same after the truck has sat not running all day or night?
Reason im asking is mine is showing a three degree difference after 10+ hours of the truck sitting. EOT is hotter. That seems odd to me, in my mind thats too big a difference. Shouldnt they be relatively closer in temp or the same? Im no scientist but unless im a dumass (likely) a glass of oil sitting next to a glass of coolant in the dark should be the same temp.
Ive tried to blame this on the oil pan soaking heat from hot blacktop but i checked today with the truck parked on dirt and it was cloudy all day. ECT was 64 (ambient temp outside) and EOT was 66.98 (constantly fluttering between .95 and .98)
Kinda rambling now but
ECT hardly ever goes above 188 while driving 70 mph and the eot stays around 198-200. New thermostat, is it possible that my coolant temp sensor is reading a few degrees low?
