Default Re: Enclosed car haulers?

Good to hear you guys still pulling boxes with 6.0 gas engines over 120k++! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img] I just turned 120k with my '04 2500HD, crew with 6.0 and I'm concerned with the engine temp creaping up to 220 or so when pulling up the mountains - trans temp creaps up to 210'ish as well. It didn't always do this, except at 60k miles when I had to replace the water pump.... My boys want me to get a Class A diesel pusher..... [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/eek.gif[/img]

Marlin,
Mine is an '08 3500HD 6.0 gas with almost 200K on it. Runs great. Those are very good motors. Mine has the towing package and the temp never budged towing uphill.

I have the tow package as well, trans cooler and temp gauge, - all the good stuff. I took it to the dealer before the towing season, they could find nothing wrong. I had them change the thermostat just for peace of mind. My truck sits, sometimes for weeks at a time, so I'm thinking the radiator is starting to block up.... Overall, it's a very good truck!
