So I took the truck on about a 5hr road trip yesterday, from Sacramento to Modesto and back. Took me about 3 1/2 hrs there, 1 1/2 hrs back.
Truck ran great and I was very pleased with it, as it was the first time I've driven it more than about 15 miles at once.
Temps seemed normal, eot about 180, ect around 195-200.
During the evening on the way home, ect dropped to around 180, ect to around 160.
And like I said, truck ran great, no spikes in temp even while sitting in traffic.
Well this morning I get in the truck to head to work, and immediately, I mean as soon as the truck starts and gauges move, eot is already at 240.
I turned the truck off, and back on thinking something was wacked in my eot gauge. Still the same. Drove to work about 4 miles, the temp raised to about 260.
Checked the oil, has plenty of oil, oil is not black, looks to be in good shape. Topped off a little just for good measure, and turned the key over, still the same thing.
What gives? Checked my coolant, clean as a whistle, no oil in it.
