Just as the title states. I just picked this unit up and everything works great, but it w\displays 0 for EOT. Anyone else have this issue? My truck is a 2007 F150 King Ranch, 5.4l flex fuel engine.

Any suggestions are welcome...

 

No suggestions whatever, except to get hold of Edge customer service and ask them about it. Possibly, there's some defect in your unit's firmware.

well I do remember a thread I read where it would not display it on certain vehicles, but I dont remember the year or engine size this was on. but I did see this link when I searched... https://www.f150online.com/forums/ch...-edge-eot.html

edit: theres also another link in that thread about it

 

Bill Cohron just answered this on the PHP forum. The 2007-2008 trucks do not have oil temperature sensors, so, you can't monitor it. You can disregard my earlier post about calling Edge.

If it makes you feel any better, I found that the Oil Temp readout was somewhat worthless. I ran and the Engine Temp at the same time. Once the engine was up to full normal temp, the oil just mirrors engine temp, just 3 or 4 degrees lower. The only thing I learned is that it takes awhile for the oil to get up to full running temp. Maybe 10 miles or so, more than I expected.

 

No, Jim, I'm going to respectfully disagree here. I've monitored the CHT, TFT and EOT together while pulling my trailer. Even under high load situations, (3-4000 RPM) pulling the trailer up mountain grades, the CHT stayed below 215. The TFT climbed up into this range too, but maybe due to my transmission fluid cooler, it didn't go higher. But, the EOT shot up to the 245 degree range in these conditions. It seems quite sensitive to engine load, much more than the CHT.

However, under normal load, I agree - the oil temperature is pretty similar to engine temperature.

That's interesting. I never tow, so I have never experienced anything like that. I just assumed the coolant was doing it's job, the heat was being removed from the engine, and it would always stay close. My engine temp is always from 192 to 196 and the oil temp was always about 3 degrees cooler. My tranny temp is always a lot cooler, in the 150 range.

 

I def. appreciate the feedback. I got the answer from PHP earlier today about no oil temp sensor. I would have liked to monitor the temp because it is far more critical than coolant temp, but oh well. It's not like I could read it before.

On a side note, what a difference the Edge makes in the driving experience. I should have done this a while ago!

Thanks for the feedback!

 

I would not have expected this. I guess it is due to the lack of a cooler on the engine oil. Thus the need for a oil cooler in race cars.
