Did any check engine warning indicators go off?
We went through CO this summer up passes and were close to same temp as you. I didn't receive any warnings and engine was operating normal otherwise. I would have been more concerned but my brother who has a 2000 Prevost w/Det Diesel (I'm working on converting him to Newell but he thinks he is a touring rock star
and was also running almost exact same temp in same conditions. This happened to be a very hot day in CO so the ambient air temp didn't help. When we stopped the only thing I noticed was the coolant was over full and leaking very slightly. It has never re occurred so I attribute it to the higher elevation and high temp.
Does the black smoke occur any other time? I wonder if the smoke might be unrelated?
