I have never heard of this . My truck got up to 235 on the engine temp. It was 98 at 7:30 at night and climbing Baker grade going to Las Vegas. The year before I climbed a bigger hill and it was even hotter outside and didn't have any problems . Has anyone ever had this problem and if so how did you fix it.duramax overheatingI have a 2005 duramax and have had a little overheating problem . I think I read in the Trailer life magazine that there was a guy who put a different radiator hose on his truck and it took care of the problem. I believe he had a hose with a 90 degree elbow and put one with two 45's witch he said that it cut down the restriction with the 90 and the water flowed better . I have been looking for the info so I can show it to my mechanic and see what he has to say about it. If you know where I can find this info I would appreciate it .Re: Diesel Truck MPGI have a 2005 Duramax 6.6. just pulled a 30ft fifth wheel .
