Normal engine water temperature for a D-60, 2000 lxi???
After noting wet hoses beneath the engine block, I had Detroit Diesel
chase down several leaks. They found several rusty, loose hose
clamps, also some leaky gaskets/seals on the oil cooler. It took 3
short trips, 2 of them free, but they finally got it right. No more
budgeting for coolant. When the engine is idling, the water temp is
around 180F. Under load, at 80F temps, it can run up to 235F. When
cruising it stays in the area of 200F----210F. It seems high to me.
Is this the normal temp range for the D-60? Thanks.
