Oil temp vs coolers

[Twan]

After i did my injectors my oil temp likes to run warmer when pulling my 5th wheel, temps are great pulling my other trailers so fare. My stock oil cooler was replaced, hpop replaced when i did injectors. What is a safe oil temp to hold (for long times) and what is a safe temp for a mountain pass? I wish i would have had my insight when it was all stock to have stock numbers to go off of. What is a max water temp to hold for a mountain pass?

If my oil is getting to hot, would the oil cooler from Bullet Proof bring my temps done? I'm sure I need to upgrade coolers, because in the summer when my oil was at 214 water 210, pulling my inclosed trailer, out side temps at 90-100 running 80 mph my AC was not as cold, when oil was at 220 for hills it turned the ac off, cab gets hot fast.
Thanks guys.

If you're running synthetic oil, 214* EOT's are nothing to worry about. Probably don't even need to worry about it if you're running conventional oil.

What is your ECT and EOT when you're not pulling a trailer?

Only other thing I can add is to slow down. 80 mph pulling a trailer is asking for a trailer tire to blow out. You'll also see your ECT and EOT come down.

those temps are ok. the time to worry is when oil gets above say 230* and have more of a 15* difference between oil and water.

 

[yeehaw]

214 sounds about right for me, middle of summer, pulling decent amount of weight.

Pulling the 5th wheel temps stay around the 230* empty running to and from Texas I was at 185-190 water and 190-195 oil.
I'm running T-6 Rotella.

 

[Jarrod B]

are you pulling in this weather and getting those temps?

 

[Twan]

The 5th wheel will be pulled in the sumer alot, which temps will range from 70-90, few times in the 100's. on a plus, i hold a lower water temp truned up than my duramx stock, lol.

 

[Jarrod B]

im just asking cause im seeing lower water temps since it got cold outside.

 

[Twan]

Oh, my temps are lower in the winter, last winter going to Texas empty i was running 165 water temp.
Im going to have the tuners turn my fans on at a lower temp.

Buy a Peterbilt to pull the 5th and make the 6.0 a toy lol

Can't be doing that, lol. I'm one of the few still running the 6.0. Just hand another buddy go to the dodge.

 

[Twan]

Guess I should try pulling it again, since I got the tuning better. Might run lower temps now.

Dodge = STD'S

Tooning the psd correctly = unequivocal happiness lol

 

[Twan]

I won't be getting a dodge. I thought about a cummins swap, but It's way more fun to own a 6.0!

R u still running ficm tuning?

 

[Twan]

No, I have the ficm tuner from PHP that I'm going to try.

 

[range91]

What tunes are you running when towing?

 

[Twan]

Matt's and Eric's, got one from Vivian to try, just never got around to it.

 

[Twan]

Rpms are at 2000 and higher at all times too. On the long hills, passes rpms are 2600-2800.

 

[Twan]

Bump.
Anyone upgrading there coolers, are there up grades?
