Summertime Coolant Tempature Powerstroke
#3
2005 F250 6.0 Crew Cab Short Bed in Las Vegas with outside temps between 100 and 118 using a scan gauge II to read coolant temp.
Highway empty: 195-205 depending on hills
City empty: 200-205
Towing my 5000lb ATV trailer: 200-224 (the 224 temp was with outside temp of at least 118 degrees and on steep hills)
When it hits about 218 or so the fan kicks on and my truck sounds like it's about to fly. When the fan kicks in the temps drop back to 215 or so pretty fast.
