I've noticed that the B2 has been running a little warmer than usual on the interstate. On the temp gauge the truck normally runs between 180 and 210 and I've noticed the last few days it's been running closer to 210 in the afternoons on the interstate and at one point yesterday almost on 210.
When driving around on the street, stop and go it's normal. On the interestate at night it's normal or a little cooler.
The truck has already had a new water pump, thermostat done and I've got a fresh set of heads on it since it over heated a year ago.
There doesn't appear to be any leaks anywhere, and the coolant level is not low. The only thing I've noticed is that the expansion tank was empty.
We're averaging around 95 degrees and then humidity, so I was wondering if my 20 mile commute on the interstate in the afternoons is enough to make it run a little warmer or if something is wrong.
