So, it has been hot here in West Texas this summer. We traveled to Waco to pick up a 50DLA tag-along trailer. It was 95+ all the way and half of the way back ( 350/400 ) miles round trip. We kept the engine temp no > 230 degrees. Last week was hot and unusually humid for this region of the state. Never got a coolant temp light though.
When does it kick in?
I'm talking 40 - 45 miles per hour, sometimes 50 until things heated up. It was a long day but we made it. The LMTV was impressive despite the unknowns for which we were faced with not knowing its past. You hate to destroy something because you are willing to take that chance. We were taking note of every sound to say the least... Anyway, it was a beneficial experience from start to finish. We prepped for the worst. We were ready to change a tire on the highway. We came through without incident...
So give me your best advice for what you have experienced and learned. I will do the same. I will digest old threads that touch on this subject.
Thank you.
