Michael, Our 1992 Silver 8V-92 hovers around 185 degrees pulling Vail Pass, a 7% grade on I-70 east bound, towing 5700 lbs of Lexus 470 with coach in 2nd gear with pyros screaming at 1000 -1050 degrees., maybe touching 1100 if I am not totally fixated on the guage, On the flat, it water temperature sits at 175, and tranny temp with Transynd sits at 180 degrees. City traffic encounters tranny temp climbs to 200.
Even pullling the "Baker Grade" east on I-15 east of Baker Ca, the raidiator temps rarely peak any higher than 185-90.
Another ex is east I-15 pulling the grade up the hill to Oak Hill/Hisperia California, pyros at 1100 tranny in 3rd gear, radiator temp 185 degrees
We have never hit the temps you are experiencing. Our coach weighs in at 41,680 pounds.
