Hi everyone, Today it was 98 degrees. I noticed that while moving my temp remained in the middle of Hot/Cold. When I was in traffic and barely moving for about 10-15 minutes, the temp went right up to the Hot...Not beyond it into the Red Warning area...but still too close to over heating for me. Any ideas?

Did you check the coolant level? Oil temps up also? If the coolant level is fine the T-stat is a likely candidate. If the coolant level is low refill and check for leaks and temp. Let us know what you find,

How close to red? Sounds to me like the truck was doing the best it could... and the only way you are going to fight that is with some aux fans...
Did you have the A/C on?

It seems to be a common problem, on a really hot day I have the same problem, I've seen a thread here a long time ago about this and most people have experienced the same thing, if it gets really hot, turn off the AC, it will help.

Mine does the same thing especially if I'm wheeling at low speeds on hot days. Will climb up but never goes into red. This is what concerns be about getting a winch/bumper combo. i don't want anything else blocking airflow.
