Just an update, with this heat wave we have been having, here in PA the heat index has been up over 100*, very sticky hot here, and since my thermo and coolant problems last week, even with these extreme high outside temps, my coolant temps still hang out at 200 or lower, even in short stop and go, sit in traffic driving. Then in the morning or evening when it cooler obviously it runs a bit cooler. So i think im good to go

This is good news!
This heat sucks. 97* here today. Humidity is very high, and it's supposed to climb again tomorrow. Heat index about 110. Lovely.

Sounds good for the truck but bad for humans. Normal temps for the South. Hope you have an indoor job.
