200- 215 or 190, or even 150 on the oil temp . The water temp runs about 15 degrees less than the oil temp. according to Caterpillar. hope this helps; I think there are many variables- how new/old, etc...
Disconnect the block heater. There should be a 6-8AWG cable running along the top of the engine. This heater is needed only in extremely cold climates. They may smoke a bit more, but your voltage should remain steady between 12-13VDC.
Other than going to a dealer or shelling out about $145.00 for the manufacturers' CD. These are the only 2 manuals you can use: (no working links) TM_5-2410-214-20P.pdf
what do you mean by 3rd party dvd? is it commercial dvds? is it the region code problem? i mean if you get DVD that does not match with the region code of your dvd player, it wont play.
Sounds like high pressure oil used to actuate the injectors is bypassing one or more injectors internally. There was an issue with this on engines with 7AS / 8YL serial number prefixes. There is no real way of isolating the problem, so the fix would be to replace all six injectors.
-Clogged fuel filter
-Leaking fuel line
-Bad fuel pump
-High or low oil level
-Overdue oil change (Will explain both these possible causes later)
-Bad high pressure oil pump, ICP sensor (injection control pressure sensor), ICR (injection control pressure regulator), or bad HEUI injectors, or oil lines
-Leak in the high pressure oil system (unlikely because you would have noticed this... This does not go undetected as the underside of your vehicle would be literally covered in oil and dripping in a very short period of time after the leak develops)
(Powerstroke engines use a HEUI fuel injection system, "Hydraulically actuated/electronically controlled unit injection", which relies on a high pressure hydraulic pump that uses engine crankcase oil and pumps it at high pressure (500 psi or so). This oil is sent to your fuel injectors to provide means for actuating them and pressurizing the fuel into the cylinders. High or low engine oil level, or old, diluted, additive depleted oil will cause this system to aerate the oil and result in poor fuel injection capabilities)
There might be other causes but this is the Powerstroke`s weak point... The HEUI system was first designed by Caterpillar, which makes a lot of excellent/bulletproof HEUI based engines, both in passenger vehicle and heavy trucks and equipment. The Powerstroke is an engine designed and made by International Truck and Engine, which cannot seem to make a HEUI engine, in any market, whether passenger, heavy truck, or equipment that does not suffer from fuel injection issues.
