It's heating up!
OK it's finally Summer here in the city. Today coming home empty, running 65mph on interstate, my temp gauge is sitting at 210. The tranny is running about 180.
This got me to thinking, at what point should I start getting worried? 210 to me is HOT! However, last week I pulled a 9k trailer a couple hundred miles, running 70mph. The outside temps were in the mid to low 80's, and the engine temp stayed just below 210, and the tranny was at 200.
Someone please tell me when is too much? I don't have an EGT or boost gauges yet, but I'm working on it. When is too hot for either engine or tranny?
