Message: [QUOTE="Strokersace, post: 412639, member: 622"] Great info Tarm!! It's hard to say on oil temps before as I wasn't pulling the trailer much before and that's where I really started noticing it. If memory serves me correctly oil temps were 188-190* cruising empty at 70-75mph. 220 when I did tow on highway. Using the scangauge as my data source. Unfortunately, I have no exact data on coolant temps because the scangauge doesn't read it and I have no other specific gauge for it at this time. The fan clutch seems to be working properly. I can hear it engaging and working, however, there's a possibility its not working to its full potential. It was new back in 2010, but with all replacement parts, its possible its not lasting. Also I rebuilt the oil cooler last year and the water passages looked great. The only reason I have the 180* t-stat was to try it. I can and possibly will go back to the 195* in the future. Again, before this summer, I remember oil temps being in the 190*-220* empty obviously on the lower end of that with towing being the upper. This was in cooler weather and 2000' lower elevation than I'm at now. Pulling the trailer long distances, multiple times across these higher elevation western mountain states and also living here in Colorado now at 5500' or so elevation, I see that range being 200*-230*+. Empty lower end of range, towing heavy on upper end of range. [/QUOTE]
