2006 Dodge Diesel Engine Temp ??????

Drive it like you own it.

That's about what my 2006 Ram runs too. I am pulling a heavier trailer but it is about the same now as when I was pulling a hybrid. The main thing that changed going to a heavier trailer was the mileage.

With similar drivetrain my unloaded ECT is 190 and will hit 210 pulling some major grades towing 10,000# in the summer which is not out of line in my mind. However my EGT which is measured pre-turbo will spike and cause me to slow before having to worry about coolant issues. My transmission temperature has hit 220 on occasion which doesn't bother me at all. I find the worst scenario for transmission temp spikes is low speed climbs due to traffic or construction. Edge CTS.

I have an aftermarket "built" transmission with lockup in all gears.(BD Diesel) External oil filter and suplimental radiator. Transmission temp never gets above 175degrees now. The factory transmission saw 240-260 degrees under certain conditions.

EGT is set to defuel at 1350 degrees. I've never seen this temp. Highest is a bit under 1200 degrees.

Juice is set at #2..."TOW"

Juice with Attitude tuner...

Water temps reasonable
What is tranny temp....return?
What are EGTs running?
What level on tuner?

BTW...Thanks Folks

I'm reading temperature on the "Juice With Attitude" tuner control module which is connected into the OBD port

ALso, are you reading that temp on the OEM analog gauge, or some sort of add-on gauge/monitor panel like an Edge CTS Insight or similar?

Might get more responses in the tow rig forum.

Sounds about right. For sure the water temp is going to get hotter when the engine is working harder. Water is still not boiling, because the system is under pressure,
