    Going on the Dyno tomorrow...

    Could be as simple as bad sensors...

    Dyno pointed to a bad Coolant Temp sensor and the tensioner pulley is bad too...
    Replacing those and back on the dyno...

    I got a 2014 Pete 388 with an ISX I got the same issue. I’ve replaced oil temp sensor, oil cooler, oil cooler thermostat, radiator also the water pump. It’s only when loaded and pulling grades or bucking a stiff wind. Mines never hit 300 but 250 to 260 fore sure. The fan doesn’t kick in because the coolant temp is in range. I’ve heat gunned the pan and it is as hot as the gauge reads. No shop can figure it out.....

    I got a t2000 2009 with a isx I replaced the water pump, the thermostat, and flushed the coolant system still over heating. Any body got any suggestions? Also had the head checked it's good and not leaking anywhere. Could it be a fuse I'm missing? Fan kicks on around 210 215

    At fan on temp of 215f_ How long does it take to for the coolant temp to pull back to 180f? First step........check the cooling package/radiator for air flow restrictions or blockages.
