Wondering how hot is hot here??? Seeing 230's here now

---AutoMerged DoublePost---

Nobody runs. Coolant and oil temp gauges?? What is normal for temps?

 

I got a 16* split running 186+ ECT and 200+ EOT. I use the CTS for my gauges.

 

My split. Is about 10 so that's OK, but I am seeing 230 on temps?? Is this to hot???

 

Well we don't know anything about your truck, how you drive, if you're towing etc... so hard to say. I see you're in Ontario, I'm sure outside temps can't be very warm yet, but some more info here would help. Sounds toasty to me.

 

x2, little hot IMO

 

Yes, seems hot to me to? Lol it was 85 here today,
Drive truck daily, those temps I gave were not towing temps, that was in city stop and go.


Temp seems high? Coolant level good?

Thanks

 

those temps are pretty high imo. mine are around 186 to 195 after i did the full flush.

 

What were they before flush??

 

hmm i think eot was 186 and ect when it was really clogged ranged from 210 to 240 depending on how i was driving

 

If your split is only 10*, the whole truck is running hot. I could see if oil was low and coolant was high... A coolant flush probably wouldn't hurt. Still don't really know anything about your truck though... any mods? How many miles? Any work done recently? Has it been running these temps consistently? For how long? Just start yesterday? More info...

What oil are you running? Oil filter? What coolant? Coolant cap good? Ever puked out of it? Does it need replacing?
