Is it normal for an Auman truck's water temperature to reach 100 degrees?
2 Answers
If it consistently remains at 100 degrees, it is not normal. The normal water temperature should be between 80-90 degrees. Here is some knowledge about car water temperature: 1. Normal conditions: Generally, the normal operating temperature for small cars is between 80°C and 105°C (when antifreeze is added), but the normal water temperature usually stays around 90 degrees. Most ordinary cars should not exceed 100 degrees for extended periods, with 105 degrees being the limit temperature. 2. Solutions for high temperature: Try using a higher concentration of coolant, check if the pipes are unobstructed, and inspect the thermostat and dashboard sensor.
I've been driving trucks for over ten years, and the water temperature of my Auman truck rising to 100 degrees is a bit high. Normally, it should stay between 90 to 95 degrees for optimal performance. Last time my truck had this issue, it was likely due to insufficient coolant or a problem with the cooling fan. Especially during summer when hauling heavy loads, the engine temperature can easily spike. I recommend you stop immediately to check the coolant level and look for any leaks. If the coolant level is normal and the fan is working, it might be a thermostat failure or a clogged pipe. While it won't damage the engine immediately, prolonged high temperatures can increase wear and even lead to engine failure. To be safe, schedule a comprehensive check of the cooling system at a repair shop. Prevention is key—regularly maintain and inspect the radiator to ensure the cooling system is functioning properly.
