A couple things to keep in mind with this: #1: depending what you're running for a tune, you will get a CEL with this thermostat, because it won't see it's minimum operating temp ( I had this on my one customers 16 super duty) #2: this will only help trans temps on 17+ trucks, as the 11-16 run the transmission cooler on the secondary system. Another thing, there is a thermostat on the transmission you can actually remove to lower your trans temps without adding additional coolers. One other thing is a question, what area of western pa are you if you don't mind me asking? I'm from a little east of Pittsburgh.

I have this in my 6.7, absolutely worth it

Thanks for the video, and heads up on this product! Works amazing and dropped my temps 12 to 15 degrees!

Glad I found this video. I'll be pulling my 36 ft camper from Alaska back to where ever they decide to station me next. Buying thermostat now

I watched the whole video. Nice job. I like it.

Great test and content 👍🏼

I put a mishimoto in mine, before I heard about the SPE thermostat. It's still better then the stock, as far as cooling.

Can we have a full video of you full sending the truck. Mud, burn outs and drifts, can you make that happen?

Awesome content!

great test, and a great upgrade. It's a no brainer

That exhaust sounds wonderful! I own a 2018 f350. Deleted I assume, What exhaust you put on it and we're the windows down when you filmed?

Dan's Thermostat works great have 1 in my 2012 F350

Have you thought about upgrading the trans coolers to a larger one?

Perfect for non winter areas. I like my 195 thermostat in the winter... People should also have a look at how dirty/plugged their rads are. I just did mine this weekend... Plugged with leaves and pollen, dirt etc... After cleaning it, this made a 10deg difference on its own....

I have pulled now over 100K miles on my 2013 F450 platinum. Have a 20K 5th wheel pulling all over the US including mountains. Never once had a hot temp on xmsn oil or engine. As a matter of fact the oil temp and xmsn temp are almost identical while towing NEVER going much over 200* even in the summer time.

I noticed my 2016 f350 hualing an empty trailer or loaded my oil temps get to the high 230 sometimes 240 which im told is normal. And trans temp stays around 199 to 203. Vs my 2021 oil temp stays low but trans temp gets to the 225 range as well. Nice vid. Will try that spe stat sooner or later.

Probally not a good idea if you have stock emissions. The emissions regen does not start until you reach normal operating temps. The 20 degree drop will delay the start of a regen. For sort trips, this could lead to problems. You will also have delays in cabin heat during the winter. Mama might not like that.

Check your oil cooler and the thermostats on the secondary radiator.

I installed the thermostat with bigger pans (oil and transmission) and my temps are great 👍. I am in AZ and tow. Great job SPE!

Need this asap!

Good video and info. Thanks

I guess what I’m curious about is where exactly is it written that 225+ degrees will damage the transmission? Ford engineering designed this truck purposely for towing and I couldn’t imagine them putting the wrong thermostat into tens of thousands of trucks. I know SPE wants to sell these units but I’d like to know the facts about the original engineering before I consider contemplating a change.

Hey man, did you lift your truck? I like the look, its not too much and seems like a nice daily. Wheels can be a bit intimidating since I'm a sucker for off-roading.

What phone mount are you using and which mounts have you used I really need one but I like the phone closer to top of the dash but there’s not much area to put a good mount on these trucks

I just wanted to let you know I ordered this part the ccv delete and the fuel prevention kit. Just from watching your videos....

Have you gotten any check engine lights on this for the temperature not getting up fast enough? I put a lower temp thermostat in my BMW and it gives me a check engine light a couple times a year that the engine is taking too long to come up to operating temperature.

Will I be getting any check engine lights on after installing this, tuned / emissions off ‘17

With the lower temperatures did your mpg go down??

What are you using to monitor the temps? I need that set up in my truck!

Hey what if you don’t drive like a 16 year old or heavy haul? Is it still a benefit?

do a video of you changing out the transmission fluid!!!

transmission have separate cooling system. 1 run outside 76° 2 run outside 66°

Hi great tip thanks I'll see about adding this to my Truck... What App is that you Have on Your Phone getting that Info.

How does tstat normal driving in cooler weather does the heater still work great when it's cold

Need some upgrades and weight reduction for my 2019. Willing to drive to the burgh too

Corey that was a great video! I live in the foothills of WV so when we take our 5th wheel out we have to drive through the mountains. I am switching all fluids to Amsoil and will be buying this thermostat. What phone holder is that you have? I like the way it holds your iPhone.

I wonder why not just add the transmission back to the secondary cooling system like the earlier models

what is the hardware and app you are using to monitor your truck?

Ran a product like this in my 6.4. Threw all kinds of codes made it run rich trying to get it up to operation temperature and clogged my EBP sensor twice. These trucks are designed to run high temps. My worry is that causing them to run cooler makes the truck wanna run harder to make it up to factory running temps. I now have a 6.7 and kinda nervous to try aftermarket thermostats.

In a cold climate (Vermont), would that mean (early dump of hot coolant/oil) that there would not be as much heat available to heat the cabin of the truck?

Hey bro I need to do turbo injectors bigger pump u think ur shop can do it

Did you have to change your tune when you put this thermostat in ?

I just got my 2021 powerstroke deleted a couple weeks ago, and my oil temp gauge is a little higher than usual as well as trans temp slightly, all i have is a 30 hp tune, any recommendations

What is the offset on your wheels

Does anyone know how many gallons of antifreeze I'd have to drain to get to the thermostat so I don't flood my garage floor, please? I'm not at an antifreeze drain interval so I don't want to waste anymore than necessary. Thanks.

I have 14 6.7you think that might work for me also let me know the name of the thermostat so I can order it

I have a 2020 6.7 will this thermostat work on it

Is this thing on? Yes the camera you charged up, put on a tripod, set up the angle for, and hot record is on

What are you using to have this in fo on your phone? Sorry for the dumb question

Investigate that pattern patter. Before it gets out of control..... is that thermostat available for the 11-16 ???

What did it do to your mpg

How did you get that to connect to your phone

Where did u find those gauges

Would this thermostat void warranty?

I had to change my thermostat for opposite problems. The truck never got above 155 degrees no matter what I was doing and it requires 158 degrees minimum to do a regen. So, it went months with no regen and was 100% clogged. It's getting deleted this spring anyway though. lol

Hey man, I need to do that weight reduction on my truck. What is the “coolant purge” process you mentioned? Is there a certain way to re-fill the coolant after the job is done?

Corey, isn’t your truck hyper tuned ? If so than wouldn’t that alone really increase your temp ? I guess the question I have is would this really benefit a non-tuned 6.7 ?

Just wondering, what phone holder are you using? I like the position of it.

Does anyone know if you can run a separate monitor like a cts with the ez lynk tunes?? Or if you have to use the phone

Need info on weight reduction mod never seems to be available from SPE website

What’s the thing in ur phone u got?

Do you still have the typewriter tick on this truck? If not how did you fix it or are you just dealing with it?

Are you supposed to disconnect the hot side of the battery vice the ground when working on vehicle?

I think should of use the rpms in both test not just last test

What app and obd adapter for the data?????????????????????????????)

how well do you suppose this will affect cold weather performance? winter?

How can hook my phone up to my truck like with my cell phone G5

I'm a shade tree mechanic, without training or knowledge. You did a beautiful job...and then I tried it. Instant fail. Open the drain valve, nothing..opened all the reservoirs...nothing. So, remove the pipe and cause a eco-disaster...done. Remove hose...nope. The clip would not release, take off the the hose and housing for the thermostat...more eco-disasters. Lift out the old thermostat...nope. Needed dang near a pry bar... Remove housing from hose so that reassembly would be easier...nope, dropped a housing screw into the engine... had to use a hammer to remove the housing from the hose, more good news. Ah, reassembly...should be easy right...nope. The new thermostat wouldn't seat properly...inspection...closer inspection...look at old part...look at new part...find old gasket still attached to the block...great. After that, reassembly when just a smooth as the road you were testing your truck on. Boy, I tell you what...if it is ever "easy" I will find a way to hammer a square peg into a round hole. Now...need to check to see if there are any leaks. :)

Hey what tunes are you running when towing. And are you running TCM tunes ? I just tuned my 17 and when towing temps spiked to 232. Just curious to see if the tune has anything to do with it.

How do I get started doing the hot shot hauling stuff?

Do you have a video for phone adapter and app to monitor the system. Very intrigued. I'm a new diesel owner.

How do you feel about the possibility of the CP4 pump self destructing and ruining the fuel system? Do you have any protections in place? Recommend any?

Did you track the OAT (outside air temp) while doing this test? Just wondering - was the OAT warmer on the 1st run? Did you complete "the weight reduction" between runs?

Forgive the ignorance, but what are you using to send the data to the 2nd phone? I'd like to have something similar in my 2020 F450.

Didnt 17+ change the coolant setup nd the trans is on the primary which on 16- was on the secondary?

What ecu and tcm tunes were you running in the test

The ambient air temperature was at least 10 degrees cooler on your second run!?

Did the stock temperature gauge in the truck rise to "H" when your phone app showed the 226 trans fluid?

Most engine wear occurs while the engine is getting up to temp. This is just a trade off on quicker warm up time versus running cooler at extreme load.

"big ugly, wide wheels like that" I'm so glad you said it before I did. I'm not sure I understand the purpose of this mod. I get that it's about reducing reducing temps, but these transmissions are designed to work in the 230+ degree range, and that's straight from Ford techs and engineers. Changing for lower temperature thermostat means that combustion chamber temps are lowered, which will result in increased carbon deposits when running cooler. This will result in less engine life, UNLESS the truck is seeing constant tough duty in extreme hot weather conditions, like Arizona pulling 20k lb. Just because the temps are lower doesn't mean it's saving the engine/trans. This will even affect EGTs meaning DPF will fill more regularly, resulting in more diesel use and more DEF use. I pull 11k through the Colorado mountains often with my '18 F-350, and have never seen had an issue, even with temps in the 230s on the trans.

do you work for spe

How do you get away with wheels like that im guessing trucks not registered in pa thats cop magnet on northern east pa im watching this being my 19 750 is getting hot only 7000 miles always in shop trying to get out of this truck

Drop that throttle pos. sensor and put you EGT's there. That'l

Lol people on the pipeline hate seeing me beat on my f250 platinum….but hey it’s a truck!

I'm trying to drain some of the coolant from the drivers side radiator valve. I can not get this thing to open! I feel like I'm going to break the valve. Is anyone else having this issue?

Would this be worth it in a 2011?

Nice shirt

Anyone know if doing this will void your engine or powertrain warranty? Im sitting at 36k miles on my 2020, don’t want to void anything “jussincase”. Knowhutimsayin?

What app was u using to see all ur gauges on iPhone

I got my transmission to 248

What tune level were you in?

There are numerous reasons why Ford engineers designed the 6.7 Diesel and their transmission to run at those higher temps. Changing that is basically re-designing the system😳.

What product are you using on your phone to get all those gauges?

Bro that unidentified pitter patter got me!

I just left it out. Oh i own a 6.0 that’s different

Hey I am trying to contact spe about some parts

I bet you won’t like it this winter in Florida we run a 190 degree thermostat because we have hot conditions and don’t use heater much i run under 200 I only pull a boat not much weight

Degrees and percent grade are not the same thing. 4 degrees is actually a 7% grade.

Water boils at 212 f. Oil doesn’t overheat near that. Modern debutantes are susceptible to ignorance

Ok. Let's see what it does on a 95°day
