Temps?

What are acceptable summer time highway driving temps?? Temp was hanging just shy of 190 on a recent road trip. Travel speed was 70 mph with 75 Degree temps. Also what would the cool down period be after you came in off the road?

Perfect, what more could ya ask for. The manual says in upwards of 3/4 of the way up is acceptable. Personally I dont like to go there. From a dead run at 75 to pulled over around 4/5 mins. Looks with your mods you should be sportin a pyro anyhow so you know the real temps, specially if your towin.
