elevated engine temp while towing
Posted: Sat Apr 18, 2009 6:25 pm
Hey there,
I have the superchips tuner for my 05 pathfinder, and got my first chance to try it out while towing today. I noticed that the engine runs a full 10F hotter while towing than when in normal non-towing operation.
Also proves that the factory temp gauge is just a dummy gauge, it never moved any higher even thought the temp at some points exceeded 200F.
Anyone else seen this? Should I be concerned? I am towing within the limits of 6000lbs and 600lbs tongue weight.
