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??

 

Seems fine to me. The Thermostat opens @ 210 if I'm not mistak'n. I noticed on my 2nd gen that my engine temp will warm up if I got my foot in it, but the EGTs stay in check.

Ohhhhh...
I was thinking that it had a 190 in it, but I have never seen the engine temp go past 192 until I pulled this hill.

 

Let me re-phrase. The Thermostat starts to open between 186-193 degrees, it's completly open @ 207 degrees.

 

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*+

Well I don't really know what my trans temp was. I have not put in a gauge yet.
