EcoDiesel engine temp when towing

[Markkabureck]

These match my temps exactly , odd that 222 isn't even half way up the Guage

JTRD Towing at near max capacity (two adults, two kids, about 300lbs in the bed, approx 5500 lb trailer)

— and no I was not holding the phone nor taking the photos. The passenger was.

Try going up a hill.... I70 from Golden to Evergreen, the ecodiesel is slower than my 4.0 Tacoma, with an empty trailer, and nearly anything in the truck....

You never thought to slow down or pull over when hitting coolant temps that are a 1/4 past normal? Any car i drive if coolant temps are creeping past half then it's time to try something different, like slowing down or pulling over.

Driving in Arizona between Phoenix and Vegas in December.... 50 degrees out. Going up a long grade at 65mph towing a 4500 pound trailer my oil temp hit 260, engine temp hit 230. I slowed down to 55, and the oil temp dropped into the 230's and engine temp below 210. In the summer, I'd have had to slow down sooner.
