Horsepower

Not watching the gauges, would be called operator error. lol
Or you can have the computer set up to shut it down when it gets hot, my international will not run past a certain temp, or if low on water a certain amount, same with oil pressure and lever..
It rings bells and a light comes on and it just gives you a certain amount of time to get her off the road.

 

I can climb forever and never overheat.

 

Most trucks can, depends on the driver when it comes to high horse power, if the cooling system is up to par.

 

That's my point. If they just raise the tune without upgrading the cooling system then it'll want to overheat when using what you bought

 

Maybe if a guy gets wild with it, but most trucks that have say a 475, that is uporatable to 550 or what ever, alreatd has enough cooling capacity.
When i looked at my international it was set at 430, but could be bumped to 470, so we did, it already had more than enough cooling to handle that and probably even more, if a guy did some custom tuning.
Guys up here are pretty bad about turning cats up to the point they are twisting the blocks enough to crack oil pans, with no over heating issues.

 

Not a problem when it's -20.

 

You got me there, but then it gets hot here in the summer too. lol

 

My trucks dont get to see cold weather they are warm blooded trucks only the coldest I think that they have seen with me was 40f

 

They got caught and paid heavy fine. There top dollar for anything

 

What exactly do you upgrade in the cooling system? Water pump? Radiator?
