So what temps are people seeing these days, with stock set ups? Just curious how big of a diffence my after market cooler is making, during the summer months empty. I already know towing it makes a huge difference

That's weird, as you can watch my Father's '03 T gauge move when you nail the throttle when you have his 30' goosneck flatbed hooked up and going up a good hill. Or atleast I thought it moved....

I wonder if it's setup a lot like the wonderfull oil pressure guage that we have on our trucks?

My numbers in my first post was when the ambient temp was 95F.

Im thinking the same thing, probably not a real good judge of actual temps until it's too late...
