Coolant temperature

What’s a normal running temperature for a 2011 ram 2500 cummins 6.7 when going up hill

Gonna need some more details. Towing, if so how much, ambient temp, grade you’re pulling, etc. But, up to 215ish or so is pretty normal with a good load

With no load it was going between 206 and 212 but I’m in a hot country( Haiti) , so basically you telling me at 212 not to worry ?

Heck i would not worry unless it was surpassing 230 if towing heavy enough but you are in a fine range!

Thanks man , other thing I have a red like looking like a storm that keep showing from time to time « see pic attached « I was told it could be the power module that needs to be updated , I’m in Haiti the dealer doesn’t do it I call Dominican Republic since it’s next door , they don’t do updates neither . Base on that picc is it really the power module ? If yes I will Oder if new . Any help would be appreciated
Thanks

You would have to have the codes checked but it could be a few different things like the throttle position sensor

You can order a diagnostic tool on line . Very simple to operate . You just plug in under your steering column ECM port follow the instructions and it will read the the code and tell you in plain english what it is . It will also give you the option to clear it from your screen . There are many options as to what type and the cost . Usually about the $100 range or so will suffice .

That's a low voltage light. Mine comes on every morning for a couple seconds until the alternator gets to work.

10-12 6.7's use a 200° thermostat. The data on the 200°s isn't readily available, but if you look at how Cummins thermostats generally work (the 180° and 190° ones) we can extrapolate the following data.

Cracks open at 200°±3° , full open at 215°-217°, max allowable around 235° (Ram says 245° max, Cummins is more conservative).

Since they were mentioned and if anyone is curious here are the specs on the 190° thermostat used on 03-09 and 13+. Crack at 190°±3°, fully open at 207°, max allowable 225° (Ram still says 245°).

It's very common to go 10°-15° above full open temp when pulling hard and nothing to be concerned about.

That's a low voltage light. Mine comes on every morning for a couple seconds until the alternator gets to work.

It's actually the Electronic Throttle Control warning indicator. It comes on at every startup as a bulb check.

No thats not a low voltage light… the low voltage light is a red battery….
