[QUOTE="Chvyrkr, post: 1024446, member: 169"] Wife's truck, the '06... Normally runs down the road with acceptable/normal ECT and EOT within 10* higher. We have a mid 90's 4 horse trailer, and it's pretty heavy. Usually use my '97 to tow heavy things, but it's down so... Hooked 'er up and off we went. It was 80-85* outside, and on some of the hills, it hit 220* ECT, with EOT getting as high as 235*. That was holding 55-60 on grades of up to a mile, at 4-5%. Matt's tow tune. Yes, fan was running. Turned off A/C for the ride home and it went to about 215* and EOT 225-230*. EOT came back down to within 10* when the truck cooled down on level ground. Seems a bit on the high side for me. I got EOT up to 220* ONE TIME in my '02, and that was doin 75-80 with a tri axle, 200 gallons of diesel, and a pulling truck behind it. In the 7.3's the highest I've ever gotten with this horse trailer on these same roads was 210*, with A/C running. Dunno what delta calls for a new oil cooler, but on the whole the thing just seems to be working awful hard, to be reaching those temps. I'm 6oh dumb... So I'm open to all opinions. [/QUOTE]
