I have a 2004.5 Dmax... What exactly constitutes an overheat situation....going into a limp mode?
I guess it depends on the individuals definition. Some say it overheats when the temp gauge gets above about 220, others when it hits the red zone and limp mode.
On my 04.5, at 20K combined and long 6-8% grades in 90-100F, the temp gauge will climb to about 230, verified on my scanguage as well. Fan roars, but doesn't go higher. To me that is NOT overheating. But to some owners it is overheating.
If it was pushing near the red zone for me another story.
