Have you noticed the running coolant temp of the new JL 3.0 diesel? 205°f-225°f
I know that is not excessive, but I'm use to all my diesels (Cummins and John Deere tractors etc) running no more than 190°f. I suspect it is all to meet emission standards and keep the DPF nice and warm, but it sure would have been nice to have a cool running diesel engine...Oh well, it is what it is...
JFYI...I got stuck in a rollover accident traffic jam on the 95 North in Las Vegas for one hour the other day when the ambient was 105°f, and the coolant sat very comfortable at 205°f with the AC going the whole time.
