Jc, My truck is behaving EXACTLY like yours was/is. For the first 1 1/2 hr of towing, everything is normal. You can tell the t-stat is cycling normally. During this towing time, there are some hills and mostly all the towing is towing my GearBox (12k loaded) at 70-75mph. On some of the hills...

JCamper, Thanks for the reply. It's been a couple of weeks since towing and the truck is functioning perfectly during the week and non heavy towing. The problem only happens after 1 1/2 hrs of sustained towing. I have changed the t-stat twice and it didn't correct the problem. :{ I have not...

Yes, I have been looking alot at the levels thinking the same thing. But, why during the week (roughly 200 miles a week) would everything be OK. It warms up in the morning at the normal rate. The heat works fine. I never checked the heat when the engine was "cooling off" but the infared confirms...

I am running on the 2nd new t-stat. I thought the original was sticking open so I replaced it. Then, the replacement had the same problems, I bought another thinking I got a defective one. I appears it is not the t-stat. Also, the clutch fan appears to be operating properly. During the first 1...

I have the lazer temp unit. During the week, the temp gage is at 190* Lazer confirms. Fine all week. Only after towing for 2 hrs or more. Last weekend, I dropped the trailer at the camp site, unhooked and went into town for dinner. Got to the resturant and gage was at full cold. Checked with...

Been lurking since 1999. Quietly absorbing all info. Thanks to all. Now I got a real problem I can't solve. My truck is over cooling. Towing 12k, at 75mph, in some hills, sometimes 1200egt, truck cools down to 120* after 2 or more hours of towing. For the first 1 hour and 45 minutes, all is...
