1992 itasca sunrise 454 operating temp

[Itasca55]

Ok this was first trip I took in super hot conditions . I was watching all gauges . Temp gauge ran from about 180f to brief times going up hill
passing to 210f it never went passed 210f . It has a 15 lb cap on radiator . I did not use front air conditioner at all while driving as it needs a recharge. Is this normal temp for the 454 ? To me its a strong running 454 for 12,300 lbs when you call for 454 gods you get some serious thunder action 🙂 temp outside ran from 93f to 85f about 80% humidity. My average speed 60mph to 70mph . coach air conditioner ran 4 days straight when parked so that's working great 🙂 any info be great .

That is a normal temperature range. No problems.

Normal

Also take into consideration that factory gauges are not that accurate. What you're looking for is the normal range, regardless of temps. Anything above normal is an issue.

Mine ran about the same or a little higher and thats probably why it was hard on exhaust manifolds. Had to replace them couple times. Strong engine.

What temp thermostat do you have? If 195 F that is very normal. If 180 F it should be lower. Also if you are using the dash gauge it may be off. When I replaced my sensor for the gauge I noticed a 15 degree difference between the old and new.

My 94 PaceArrow with a 454 ran 205-210. I'd say it's normal.

Sounds like a normal temp range. My 93 Kountry Star was about the same.
