Just my opinion .... but you need a gauge so you can see whats happening now ... and what happens after you make changes.

Factory stated "normal" temps are 50'c - 80'c ... Im getting average 75'c temps with two crappy factory aux coolers bodged together and the radiator bypassed.

Its only a temporary keep it on the road set-up ... and doesnt perform well in overdrive - on hills or towing ... Overdrive of course, is not the gear to be using in those conditions
