To the folks that keep talking about what would happen in the summer. You do realize that at elevations between 9000' - 11000' it never gets what you would consider hot? 80* in Silverthorne is hot. It rarely, if ever, gets above 80* at the top of the tunnel.

Right and if it's running warm at 32* (there was snow on the ground), what would it do at say 35 more degrees (67*)? Or even some of the, lesser grades where it's even warmer, like AZ, CA, etc?

The Ecodiesel runs at higher temps. Nothing new, or alarming there. And just because there is snow on the ground doesn't mean it is 32*. Welcome to Colorado, where we have days at 50* when there is snow on the ground.

Lesser grades, at lower elevations, are going to be fine. This isn't the first year for the engine. I haven't seen reports of it overheating in the real world.


























Patiently waiting for the Ecodiesel haters to Google search for overheating instances.
