Hello,
I have a predator for my 2007 dodge charger. Custom CMR tune for K&N CAI, flowmater 40 series and that's it. I have the police charger oil cooler installed on my car, I DID NOT CHANGE MY T-STAT. I continuely get the coolant temp difference fault just like I have a 180 degree t-stat on my car below 60 degree out side when I drive. I always let the car warm up before I start driving also. Can anyone please explain this and how to fix it?

thank you
Brian

The code is used to let you know that your t-stat is broken (stuck open). It's possible your t-stat is broken. Replace it with a stock one and see if the code goes away. If you continue to get the code it possible that the police oil cooler is just doing too good of a job cooling your engine.
