Message: [QUOTE="euroford, post: 1408703, member: 17667"] Here in the rockies i run the 203deg. thermostat out of necessity. With the stock thermostat and manual trans i wasn't able to keep the motor warm enough when heading downhill or in traffic during cold weather. It would get so cool that i couldn't keep the windshield defrosted. As for warm temps, the most i've seen is 223deg. oil temp. this only happens when i get stuck in low speed or stop and go traffic during hot weather above 7,000 feet with the A/C cranking. the fan will be fully cranking at this point, if i shut the A/C off temps begin to drop back to 218ish. If i can keep hauling ass temps are pretty steady around 212ish, performance is great and the fan doesn't run enough to be noticeable. I'm far more bothered by the fan running full blast than i am by the temp, that fan can absorb enough power to make the truck feel pretty sluggish off the line, especially heading uphill with a load. guys with only two pedals probably wouldn't find this as annoying as i do.
