Getting HOT
Well the other day I pulled my 25' gooseneck with my JD tractor to a job and one of the roads to get there was up a pretty good grade hill but I had my Juice set on level 2 it held about 30 MPH up the hill my EGTs never went past 1095 degrees, but when I got to the top my engine temp was 212 degrees. this just didn't look right to me. I figured that my EGTs would have gone way up no my engine temp.
any ideas??

Too Hot would be around 230*.
It's called safe zone for a reason. Don't be scared.
Most likely what was causing your high temps were very high transmission temps.
Don't even flinch on water temperature as long as it is stable.
What were your trans temps? I bet 250*+
