Temperatures running mountains

Plus you don't have the potential of having to drop a gear when the fan kicks in part way up the hill.

 

Once oil hits 250°F you've got potential damage occuring. If any fluids start creeping up around 235-240°F I'd start backing out of the power and see how the temperatures respond.

 

Even running all day in the hills my trans stays right about 200 and that's with no cooler.

 

Mine all have Brakesaver rads in them so the oil and water temps usually stay under 220, but they’ll all send the transmissions and diffs off the end of the gauge on the long pulls. Like up through Albert Canyon and Rogers. If you’re lucky you’ll have some of the heat out of them before you get to Field.

 

Bags of ice, 3 foot zips, and duct tape brother. Sandals too, for an easier entry under the truck brother, you got this brother

 

Pulling a normal load on the flat it should run at around 194 f ( 90c) going up a bit of a climb your temps will go up this is where the horton fan will kick in or sometimes don't bother waiting I just switch it onto manual and start the horton before it gets to hot usually at around 210 f ( 100 c) that way its not stopping and starting all the time and just keeps a constant temp.

 

The oil cooler thermostat in a Cummins doesn’t open until 235

 

Can u do this without taking the hood off
