    I have a 06 kenworth with a c13 in it. it seems to be running hot but I am new at this whole thing so it could be that it is running where it should. It runs at around 215 degrees all the time. Is this normal for this engine? Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated.

    If it's the oil running that hot, that's fine. If it's the water temp, it's a touch high, but nothing to really worry about. I used to run a C13 in an '02 Pete, and was around 200 all the time, summer or winter.
