Series 60 engine temps too high
#28

I hesitate to post my temps for my 6V92, because they are way different. On the flat in moderate temps (90, or below), with, or without the trailer, my coolant temp runs around 182-185. Climbing a 4-6% grade they go up to 197-199. Above a 6% grade I've seen them get as high as 219 when climbing for extended distances (Wolf Creek Pass back in 2009).....most recently (May 17th) when we did the 10 mile climb from Carson City into the Tahoe Basin.....the grade ran from a low of 6% to over 8% for 10 miles. Tranny temp on the flat runs about 160.....on the May 17th climb the tranny temp got over 200. The oil temps pretty much follow the coolant temps. On super hot days (98 to over 100) the coolant temps run in the mid to high 190's. Of course, the coach only weighs in at just under 30,000 lbs. I clean my radiator every few months (most recently in February), and will probably clean it again before we leave Tahoe.
