Both water and transmission temps were in the 190's. 45% Click image for larger version Name: uploadfromtaptalk1438386626910.jpg Views: 20 Size: 58.3 KB ID: 19437load in 3rd gear. Engine wasn't even straining to maintain 55mph. Not to bad for 253k miles. First time towing in the mountains with It. She kind of impressed me. Theirs still some life left in that 5.7L.
