Overheating 3208 in a 90SP36

[Eric Johnson]

Hello Chuck,
My 3208 is in the front rather than the back but your experiences were much like
mine
while climbing mountain passes in Colorado. Not sure you can expect any lower
temperatures than what you're getting in hot summer weather. I found on my
coach that
it helps some to gear down as your speed drops off to keep RPM's up so the fan
cools
better and the engine load is reduced.
