SO like the title says the otherday I was hauling my gooseneck (about 10k lbs) and I had been driving for a few hours and at one stoplight (I had pulled off the hiway a few minutes earlier) I lok and my BlackMaxx is defueling because of high coolant temp but my stock gauge reads normal?? (a little less than straight up) I got out and checked under the hood and everything seemed fine. So I shut the truck off let it sit for about 2 minutes then restarted it and everything worked as it should. WTF? I was driving gently and I had the blackmaxx on "No Power" So then I changed my gauge readout to include my coolant temp and for the rest of the trip (about 1 hr) it never went above 213 and it was usually high 190's to low 200's. Outside temp was around 102f and I was in the hills. I figured if I had air in the system or a bad sensor (or if she was actually overheating) the stock gauge would read high as well. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Stock gauge is way too broad on the temps in my opinion, it doesnt start reading into the hot range until aroud 250ish, dont qoute me though i cant remember exactly it has been a while. Ill see what i can gather. What temps do you monitor? I recommend ECT, EGT, EOT, Trans, Fuel Pressure, and Boost especially when towing

I was monitoring boost, Egt, Mph, throttle %, rpm. Then I changed throttle to ECT. And then my stock gauges of course. Im going to change my selection for the trip back. Like I said my stock coolant temp never went anywhere near the "yellow" or "Red" area.

the stock gauges read so slow that by the time it hit the red its almost too late. the H&S is spot on .
