Haha! One thing I remember that was told to me when I picked my Patrol up from JPC after the conversion was to get rid of the aftermarket temp gauge. I should have taken his advise on that one.

If I were to maintain the same speed as a stock one I wouldn't get hot at all.
I hold speed until I see the temp begin to rise, then slow down and drop a gear. This weekend just gone I towed my 2t caravan to Omeo from Bruthen. Anybody who knows the last hill knows it is an absolute bastard of a radiator tester. Held 3rs gear 3/4 of the way and had to drop to 2nd at the end.
I could have held 4th if I put my foot down but would have ended up needing another new engine I reckon.

Oh that last hill is a killer. 115c I was on that hill held third all the way up. Same as the hill just out of Omeo on the first hill climb heading up to Hotham. Wow!
