Towing OverHeating

Hello Towing Forum readers. Back with another question but i lost my email account so I had to create a new user name.

Finally got the Pop trailer out of storage cleaned up and out camping this last weekend, been a crazy summer so we missed using it.

Now to the questions. During the winter I added a second Oil cooler and changed to a Mark VIII electric Fan both of these for Towing and for Offroading.

The question is that we had some steep 1 and 2 gear climbs to get to the camping destination this weekend and my ScanGuage II was registering the following temp and I want your guys feedback regarding the temp range.

The v6 SOHC got to about 204 degree's during the peak of the climb and as soon as we crested the ridge dropped back to its normal 190.

The transmission was much better and i dont think ever got over about 172 with the second cooler on it.

Am I still having some cooling problems with the temp going up above 190 ?

What should I do?
 












15 degrees should be expected, I would think.
