Towing temp going up

[Derick]

The gauge is programmed to act like that so as not to send the soccer moms into the dealerships.

Is there a bcm mod to flash in actual motor temp to the gauge?

Not that I'm aware of.. I use my diablosport display to watch the ACTUAL Temp..
And yes, from about 185-215 the factory gauge just shows "210" so it's really
buffered

Yeah I know...when I roll heavy I have a tablet attached to the windshield connected via torque pro to give me vital stats. Lovely to have, wish it was all built in.

Doubt it, that would be a cluster mod I believe. Wouldn't hurt to ask those fellas who modify the BCMs though, they know more than I do.

Ran and got the water pump while there was a crash on track and installed it in the parking lot . Just finished 275 mile trip back home and never saw over 210 on the guage .

Trailer is a dual axle extra height and 5k total, I used tow haul mode and trans didn't go above 165 even on the long steep hills .

Good to hear Jeff, great work too!

Glad you got it squared away Jeff!

This makes for the third repair on the road away from home for me and all accessory related . Alternator , starter, ac compressor, water pump.

I'm going to be possibly looking to do the oil pump next before my next trip. I have noticed progressively lower and lower idle oil pressure over the last month . Nothing super alarming as it will run 45 and above all day long even on a hot day when the motor is 230 degrees pulling uphill at 4000 rpm.

Tow haul mode on up hill with 5k trailer temps keep going up with ac on. Temp went to 235 then I pulled over and went down right to 210. Did that twice but always went down . Most of the trip was uphill for 275 miles .

Have you thought of replacing the thermostat?

I don't understand, what happens when this pump fails? The impeller breaks loose from the shaft? Aren't they pressed on?

It stays attached, but the impeller wears off and can't move coolant.

Is it metal or plastic? You telling me the fins wear off and all that shit circulates through the entire cooling system? I've never heard of this so please excuse my questions on this.

 

[avalonandl]

The impeller wears is not as efficient so not as much coolant moving. Also there is a weep hole that can leak coolant.

Hmmm, I'm not sure if it's plastic or not. In the next few weeks I'll be tearing my L9H down, I'll try and sneak a peak inside if I can

Its metal on OEM pumps. I have replaced 2 LS motor water pumps

Going to try and make it out there in January or February, working through the logistics of getting a bike and all the gear from PA to CA is tough.

No one ever updates after the finish a repair , if anyone searching for the same issue . Water pump has cured all my issues at 123k. Towing my trailer today with the new 45 gallons fuel tank underneath didn't go over over 198 coolant temp . Trans stayed 127 up and down hills to west virginia from pa .
