Ok so I figured I'd post up my results of todays trip. I hauled a friends camper approximately 150 miles today. I don't know the official weight of it but the tag on it said 12,4xx. Heres a picture of it.
Anyhow it was mostly highway driving with a lot of hills(I live in pennsylvania) several are 3+ miles long. The truck is a cclb with a zf-6, stock fuel, and the usual (studs, exhaust, tuner, 76/59) My truck empty is 8,8xx. At NO point did my coolant temp get above 204* and once I topped the hill it would drop to 194 within a mile or so. I only dropped below 70mph for one 55 zone and for a slow car 2 times then right back up to 70mph. Nearly the whole trip was in 6th gear and it was 86* and 75% humidity. Fine job on the radiator Peter!
