Hello I drive a Kenworth T800 with a Cummins isx and the coolant temp is very high. What are ideal temperatures. Is 180-190 degrees good?
Coolant temperature too high.

Depends on the truck. My mx-13 runs at 160-180 unloaded and as high as 210 loaded depending on what im pulling and where as well as temps outside.

180-190 is fine if we are talking a typical tractor not meant for specialized use. If you get over 220 and the fan doesn't bring it down, you are fixing to have some problems.

It also depends on the location of the temperature sensor. The heads are going to be a lot hotter than the oil temperature at the bottom of the block. Or the temperature of the coolant at the water pump.

It’s within spec.
