Joining the "Good trip" trend.
Small trip with a group, unloaded other than a full toolbox 'just incase 
' and fuel. about 700km round trip. First day up to destination outside temperature was 18c/65f and my truck ran cold i felt, never exceeded 190f EOT. Mainly ran 188 EOT/184 ECT, may have been cold but spread kept me smiling. EGTs stayed at 750-800f, Fuel PSI at 62 all day, transmission stayed at 160f.
(Today) The drive back, hottest day of the year so far at 32c/90f in these parts of canada. Much better running temperatures, highest EOT was 209, regularly ran at 207f EOT/203f ECT. Still good spread
. Transmission was at 180f with same numbers in fuel PSI and EGTs. All these numbers are taken at 120 Kmh or 75 Mph.
Someone please tell me i got 300% lucky with a blind purchase
Well, other than my alternator not charging at idle but that has nothing to do with the engine

Forgot all about that since it's been warm, FICM is no good anywhere below 40 degrees F or so, start dropping below 45. But since it's warm in the summer it hasn't dropped below 47.5 and i just charge the batteries after every couple small trips where i know its needed to cover the weak OEM alternator that also doesn't like to charge at idle sometimes. Other stuff to pay for ATM, so holding off best i can on a FICM and Alternator, hopefully until nov/dec
