Default engine temp

98.5 24 valuve Made a trip over the past weekend pulling my camper (9000lbs) and noticed the temp was running about 195 when traveling interstates climbing mountains it would come up to about 210. i've got 4 inch exhaust 75hp injectors and a ts performance box I'd run the box about half way up egt's around 700 on flat ground and 1100 when pulling hills had all kinds of power truck worked great just want to know if I need to replace or upgrade? or if that is normal, it would cool down quickly on down grades, checked cooling levels and the raditor fins are clean and no damage sorry for the long post thanks boondockers

thats normal. Nothing to worry about. if its starts gettin close to 220 then you will need to start lookin for problems.

ya normal for pullin if you werent pulling somethings wrong and make sure you give ur turbo some cool down time just let it sit at idle for 5-10mins after a hard pull.
