Trip to PA

[Larry]

Hi Kerry,
I will have to go to the blue box to get the temperatures that Cat recommends...
I will do that this evening...
I think I will open the Cat book to see how the cooler works...
The temps have been consistant with my use of the bus...

i was under the impression that synthetic oils would not necessarily
run cooler but

continue to perform their function at higher temperatures? What are the CAT
parameters

for oil temperature on your engine? You have piston oil coolers so I would
think that with

a steady pyrometer reading of 950, you would see pretty high oil temperatures.

I don't know how the CAT oil cooler system works, but my Mercedes has a
thermostat in

the oil cooling system that opens when the oil reaches a temperature which
requires

cooling.

Are these temperatures a new development?

mountains... I was

experiencing high oil temps in the 250* range, just a guess as the Gage reads
230* and

then 320* it was somewhere in the middle... with the water temps in the 190's...
pyro

temps running @ 950*... I am running 5-40 delvac synthetic... I would think that
the

temps would be lower with the synthetic... Is it possible the oil cooler could
not be

working properly??? I have been turning the fan override on when the water temp
gets to

190* which brings the oil temps down slowly... What are all your opinions as to
a fix???

rear jack had completely returned to its nesting position... What would cause
this to

happen???
