My half ton burb never moved the engine temp gauge. That includes pulls over the Rockies on the way to Yellowstone - 9600 ft pass - with the trailer below in my sig.
So far, the 3/4 ton is the same, though we've only pulled through the Appalachians so far. Will be doing the Eisenhower tunnel this summer.
It may not move till it reaches a set point. I had two F150 5.4 trucks. Used a scan gauge in both. The dash temp gage never moved even though the temps were going up on the scan gage.
Different story on my 12 Ram 2500 CTD. I watch the EVIC display with engine temp. I can see it increase along with the idiot gage.
