Todd is right on the money. I owned a 03 with the diesel and now own a 011 with the same. Both never get over about 215 here in Texas in the summer until I hear a big roar when the clutch locks up and I can watch the temp drop below 210 again. It will run there until it cools below 200 then gets quiet again.
Hope this helps. By the way, I put 200K on the o3 and never changed a water pump, thermo, or any other engine part for that matter-- really good engines and I do pull a 5 horse fully loaded GN all over Texas and Oklahoma.
