11B Thanks for clearing it up and I'll do that as a preventative measure.

However, Gene and I are pretty sure our rigs are not actually overheating. We both feel that if the coolant were to get hot enough to sound all the alarms, then it would take a lot more than 5 seconds for it to cool down to normal when you crest a hill.

Also, I've never had mine overheat in the hottest summer heat or heavy traffic congestion, but it will send the needle to hot as soon as you start to climb a steep grade, even in the dead of winter.
