Engine temperature while towing
I guess I'm old school, but I had always been taught that if the temperature gauge moves up towards hot, you pull off and let it cool down. I'm pulling a 32' Keystone Cougar X-Lite that is 6700 lbs em...

Yeah, I'm not using the 318 anymore. I'm running a GMC Sierra 2006 1500HD with the crew cab 4x4 with the 6.0 in it which is pretty much the same size as the 360. That 318 was a strong motor! I'd run that thing hard and it never missed a beat. I did run into a case here about 2 years ago though where I got stopped on a hill and it couldn't go any further. It was just too much for it so I gave up on it and changed to 4 wheel low and towed it up the rest of the way in low range. It got me up the hill, but I was the slow man on the hill running the warning flashers. That made me think I either need to be more careful of the route I choose or get a different truck.
