My question would be why is it puking out coolant at 198 degrees when a stock one doesnt even get the warning light on untill 220 degrees? the factory engine runs between 192 - 205 degrees and the thermostat isn't fully open untill 119 degrees.
The engine may have been chipped, producing more HP than stock. Another guy I was having a beer with looked at the truck, liked it of course, and thought it looked like a larger turbocharger had been installed. I do have some service record information through CarFax but no idea what work may have been done outside of that. The truck does have pretty serious power. Keep in mind, all this is happening with the TC loaded but never unloaded.

Ouch. Big spinny thing and a tune is awesome but not on a stock 6 leaker.
