I have a 2006 tundra with the 4.7 and recently got a scan gauge. :::flame suit on::: truck reached 230 while sitting in stop in go in 103 degree weather for about 5 minutes. O.E. dash gauge stayed in the middle.
I have the scan gauge set to alarm at 220. Since I have an 80 series I figured it be a good place to start.
Is there cause for concern? Fan clutch checks out and has resistance when at ambient temp. I should probably check the rad cap next to see if it holds pressure? Did a coolant flush ok the truck 2 years ago when I got it. No leaks detected and water hasn’t been changed in who knows…
What do you guys think. Is 230ish okay and with in the realm of operating temps under said conditions?
