Need advice

I'm out west towing 5th wheel. Truck is 11k loaded and hitched. 4 people. 5th is 9950 this was loaded full fuel and water no grey or black. 4 adults. Took truck up pikes peak. transmission went to 220. Did I hurt it. Can I go higher. Coolest has gone to 220 towing. People out here tow bigger and faster. I want to know when I am in danger zone for transmission and engine. I got no warning lights. If I have any. Sorry I am doing this on a phone am in Colorado now

Coolant went to 220. Maybe I am watching evic to much

I wouldn't worry unless you see above 240-250. Then I would give it a rest and cool down

Don't forget to let your truck idle for 5-7 minutes to cool down the turbo.

Nope those numbers are not a problem at all.

I weighed at a cat scale full fuel and water. Steer 5200 drive 6400 trailer 9400. I am under all axle and tire ratings by a decent margin. Makes me feel good I have scene a ton of rams towing. A lot of srw trucks pulling big fivers. They move right along. I love my drw maybe I am to cautious. I'm a long ways from home and don't want any issues. I. Have to find a campground near Disney now. More for the wife and adult kids. I'm glad they will still travel with us
