[QUOTE="New recaros, post: 1823215, member: 33856"] You are not comparing apples to apples. First, HP =heat. It don’t take all that much HP to fly around the desert. They are on and off the throttle, turning, assenting and descending hills etc…allowing for cooldown periods. You can go 75 on a flat road and barely touch the pedal. A 100 hp VW can go 75 down most roads. You were climbing massive grades, truck probably shifted to 7 gear, 3000 rpm or so for 15-20 minutes generating sustained HP for long periods. They might of used more peak HP for a minute but a lot less over time. I have designed, operated, maintained and diagnosed heater exchangers my whole career. The mods that are recommended may very well help under certain driving conditions. but will not help, under the conditions you put forth in your post. If you want to cool a hot engine, turn on the cab heater or just slowdown. Lol If you have had cam phasers replaced, your thermostat could be sticking due to dirt in the system. If so, replace the thermostat and coolant. There have been several on here that had elevated temps after cam phaser replacement only to find out the thermostat is stuck. [/QUOTE]
