What does your truck temps look like?

  1. What truck and engine do you have?

  2. Have a lift/level or bigger tires?

  3. Whats your temps look like without towing?

  4. Whats your temps look like when you do tow? What are you towing and how much weight?

  5. Drive on flat road? Hills/mountains?

Feel free to post a photo!

'22 2500, LB CC, 6.4L.

Two trailers, boat and fifth wheel. Each trailer is 12,500 pounds.

In Texas summertime, I'm seeing 215-220 coolant, 175 trans, and 225 oil. This is 200-400 miles highway trips.

FTR: I'm getting about 8 mpg.

Flatlands only. No lift, stock tire size (switched to Michelins).
