What do you mean a "dummy reading"?
The number you see is a guesstimate. Not from a specific gauge. Water and trans temps are real.
They are NOT a guestimate. There is a filtering algorithm applied which is based on the physics of the system. And yes there are also limits used: rate of change, etc. to keep the worry warts out of the sevice department.
As far as the temperatures mentioned are concerned they sound very normal for a long hot grade. I have seen temps much higher in tests with heavy trailers at Davis Dam grade many, many times.
There you have it direct from engineering....
