217 F is CAT spec for fan on coolant temp.

Lmao
The shop can't change the temp setting in your ecm.
It is set in stone with caterpillar at 217.
If they say they can then they don't know what there talking about -
i had opposite problem. Dam fan wouldn’t shut off. That was the first sign my ecm was losing its internal memory. Then a month later I got the dreaded code for ecm sensors not calibrated. Cat had to replace computer and obviously all was well 2k later and fan started to work again properly obviously. You replaced the air solenoid I assume already?
Oxbow Thanks this. -
OP, yours doesn't come on at all? -

It's cold up here in North Dakota and I'm working nights ever since I got the truck going for the last month so the truck hasn't gotten warm except for two or three occasions that got up to 215 and I kind of panicked a little bit backed out of the throttle trying to get it cool down. 215 just seemed hot for a cat

I don't want to say much because I have c12 preemission but my fan kicks in at 210

When I bought the truck, it had just under 200,000 on a Cat Reman (the previous owner had windowed the block, somehow). I did a PDI tune and it gained me about a mile per gallon. I just had a Platinum overhaul done at about 650,00 due to a blown water line. I didn't catch it quick enough and she got hot and scored a couple liners.
All that aside, the motor runs and pulls great. I run Midwest to Northwest so I'm in the mountains a lot and I don't regret buying this truck. I mean, aside from buying a truck. LOL.
