Hey Captain, welcome to Colorado! We call the weeds that blow across the ground tumbleweeds. Lastly, you've been going up since mid-Kansas/Nebraska. Denver is the Mile High city after all. So you've been on a slight upgrade the entire day prior to entering the mountains.
Serge, my friend, if your truck's engine is heating up when going up the hills, you should check the radiator and wash it off. Dust on it and dirt prevents air from passing through
When you're climbing a 9%hill in 92F weather at 20 MPH with a 62,000 LB load, there's not much air coming thru the radiator's fins -- clean surface or not. You should stop reading so much science fiction...
Ac system has nothing to do with your truck running hot. I think thomas bs hit that nail square on the head. Only other things it could be is low coolant level or your water pump is taking a dump on you, or a sticking thermostat
I have always noticed that your native language never changes, favoring English on a daily basis. Greetings from Moldova, Serghey. I have always giving a priority to your videos.
Hey, Sergei! I’ve been watching your videos on and off since about 2017 more or less. I’ve been a driver myself since 2018. Anyways, I’ve been driving a 2008 Kenworth T660 with a 10-speed manual transmission (I occasionally drive a different T660 with a 13-speed manual transmission which I prefer), and I used go back and forth a lot between Southern California and Arizona, and also Southern California and Las Vegas, Nevada. Anyways, with my truck, even in the middle of the summer at 110º+ Fahrenheit (43º Celsius), I notice the temperature gauge for my truck’s gauge tends to stay at around 210-215 degrees like yours when I’m really pushing it and climbing big hills loaded-of course I am not as heavy as you. I don’t think it ever goes above that range no matter how much I push it (I don’t abuse my truck, despite it being old and not mine. I baby it as if it were mine). So, I think what the temperature range you described is normal for Kenworth trucks, but I’m simply guessing. What I usually do when I see my temperature going over 200 degrees is immediately turn on the engine fan manually and turn off my AC if I know I am climbing any sort of incline. I keep the engine fan running until the temperature gets back down to 160 degrees which usually happens when I return to driving on leveled terrain or start going back downhill. I never had my truck overheat (*knocks on wood). If I am climbing a very steep hill and I am loaded, I usually stay in 8th gear in my 10-speed (or as low as 7th sometimes) or 6th Low/High or 5th Low/High in my 13-speed, and keep it steady at 25-35 mph even if I feel that my truck can handle higher speed. My boss is a diesel mechanic (has 20+ experience) and does all the maintenance himself on the 8-10 trucks in his fleet. I think I remember him mentioning that the temperature range I mentioned above when climbing hills is normal and not to worry about it. Simply turn on the engine fan. However, anything much above that range would be cause for concern and you should pull over to let the truck cool down and or see if you have any leaks (you of course didn’t, since you mentioned stopping to check your coolant level at the TA and it being topped off but having to put in a gallon of oil). Sorry for my long novel.
Thanks for adding all the photos at the end. CO is really far from where I'm at in FL but the mountains and trails are tempting, I'd like to visit on vacation some day.
The ta you stopped at it's the 2nd entrance on 44th east of ward for the truck entrance. I live about 2 miles from that truck stop. Yes we can go from 90 to snowing in 24 hours. The narrow lanes at that bridge are because they are replacing the bridge.
Back in the 70s I worked at the Henderson mine. I had several different jobs there and one of them was being a equipment operator at that time we had mostly Caterpillar it was the greatest years ov my life. Loved those mountains.
the supervisor told me they now use "80-ton rock trucks" -- whatever that means - AND they have to take them apart into 1,000,000 pieces to bring underground. THEN they re-assemble them, and "those trucks never see the light of day!" They have repair shops down there so all repairs and oil changes are done down below...
I once drove to the Henderson Mill. There is a 10 mile conveyor on an old railroad grade from the mine you delivered to. The conveyor is quite impressive. The mill site is an environmental disaster. Henderson Mine conveyor belt Henderson is the largest primary producer of molybdenum in the world. Separated by the Continental Divide, the Henderson Mine and Mill are connected by one of the world's longest conveyor systems, a 10 mile elevated belt that runs underneath the Continental Divide and emerges above ground for the final five miles ...
Every year I flush the outside of radiator,, I remove the turbo after cooler and pull the ac condenser back and flush the dirt out with soap and garden hose. Always amazed how much cooler it runs and fan comes on much less.
That's a long, long pull coming out of Denver, use to hate it when I was driving, isn't any better coming from the other direction going through the Eisenhower Tunnel.
I had a friend died there on his last day before retirement,mines are dangerous but it real barium there we would go every year to steamboat and vail and enjoy it so much
Hey Captain, there is a really good place to go see wildlife. The place is Red Rocks Park and Amphitheatre. I go there every year with a band to do shows.
I used to drive for that company that just passed you, SAIA ,and I told my dispatch, if I have to put chains or cables on I would find a motel and wait it out!
Ohhh geeze ! I haul fuel in Colorado. Chaining is just part of the job. What are we gonna do ? Park until next Tuesday , then drive ? Rain or snow, the gas has got to go !
At high altitude, the air is less dense. That can affect the heat transfer from the radiator. It’s funny to watch folks blasting up that hill out of Denver with their motor homes. Most of them are overheated before the top 😆
if the truck driver has a heat stroke and can no longer hold the steering wheel of the tractor-trailer, that MIGHT create some problems for 4-wheelers who are usually busy taking photos, texting, touching up their makeup, looking in the back of the car for the source of a noise, chit-chating, consulting maps, etc... Not a good idea...
Hi, Sergei. Thank you for opportunity to get behind the wheel . While watching your video some memories popped out of my when I on my first or second year of driving somehow made delivery to the tiny town of Rifle (HWY between Denver and Utah and got stuck there for two days because of avalanche ' alert. By this time my aging Volvo was eating or better to say spitting oil abnormally, I kept an eye on it and supposed to buy few cans at International dealership nearby. There were no proper winter oil, only oil for summer and I should get at it "just in case". but I didn't. So, I started to climb uphill with growing worries. Pretty soon my Volvo said: - No, driver, you will be punished for your negligence . And stopped almost abruptly. Middle of the winter night, desperate driver in cab. I manage to start the engine and this clever engine in the state of deadly oil famine switched by himself to pedestrian speed and we continued our route. ... Blue flashing lights behind. - That's the end of story - sparked in my head, I parked on the snowy shoulder,. grabbed documents and stepped out of
Now you know.... Colorado is a high altitude State. Denver is one mile above sea level and, compared to other towns/cities in Colorado, that is a 'low altitude' city.
Captain next time you do a big grade like that roll the windows down, then turn on the heater you'll lose another ten degrees Fahrenheit off your thermostats.
I think you're watching too many Hollywood movies. There's nothing wrong with the truck asking to turn the fan on, when the truck is climbing a huge hill at 92F and 62,000 LB on the trailer.
Sorry, guys for the long story, but let me finish it. ..So, I stepped on the ground with the pile of documents, ready for everything. Surprisingly, not police but snow removal truck was idling behind me. - Facing trouble, bud ? - elderly man with a wide smile approached to me - What happened ? I guided him to the tool compartment, full of empty plastic cans. - Oil ! I badly need some oil ! - No problem, son, we'll gonna fix it - old man pulled out his radio. - Huston ! Huston ! Mile #, HWY.. Denver-bound. Help is needed. 10-4. In about quarter of hour district trooper joined us. - Ah ! Canadian truck ! It's been long way from Tipperary, bro ! Don't worry, we are here in mountings to help you. And then... Towing truck arrived , pulled over the shoulder in front of my soaring Volvo and started to unwind his winches. - No-no-no - I protested firmly to the towing truck operator. - I just need a can of oil. - Do you have one ?! Twenty dollars bill was enough to fix the deal, I promptly tipped over oil into my hungry Volvo and you know what happened next ? Accompanied by police cruiser, snow removal truck and towing guy I was escorted to the closest rest area just behind the top the mountain. - Be safe, Canadian driver ! - Colorado's saving team sent me friendly message with the long horns. ...Early in the morning I bought half of dozen oil cans at the nearest Wall Mart, it was enough to reach Montreal. Lately, Volvo was thoroughly inspected and crack was discovered somewhere in the block. Stay safe on the road.

The fans are run by electric motors the RPM of the truck has nothing to do with the speed of them...,The water pump is ran off the engine so it must be the water / coolant being pumped around the cooling system faster that brings your temperature down at higher RPMs

Why are you so upset when people get behind you in that slow lane when it does absolutely nothing to hurt your driving? Why is it a problem at all for you? If they want to go slow behind you more power for them. I would understand if they were in front of you going slow. Also, it must be getting close to time to replace that truck before a major breakdown as it has been worked hard.
Not a problem for him. He's just pointing out how stupid it is. And why replace a truck for a slight heating issue. Probably as simple as a fan clutch.
I sure as hell wouldn’t want to get behind a truck pulling a major oversized load up a mountain, of course that’s just common sense…. Which is lacking in this great USofA.
