With a full load of gear and a buddy (maybe 600 pounds total - just stuff in the cab and bed I was not towing anything) I noticed some (to my mind) high engine oil temperatures.
Cruising on the freeway on the flats and up and down moderate hills between 60 and 70 MPH in ambient air temperatures ranging from 60 - 80 F my engine oil temps came in anywhere from 219 - 226 F.
What really kind of freaked me out was climbing Towne Pass on CA 190 in ~80 F heat. The engine oil temp heated up to 246 F by the time I topped the pass

They were doing some road work so I got the chance to stop and give the big girl a rest but I could definitely smell her. Coming back the other way up the same pass in the early morning and the temps got to 237 F.
Should I be worried at those temps?
I didn't think I was pushing the truck all that hard, A/C was off and the RPMs never topped 4K.
I'll be doing the first oil change here at the end of the week and I have a trip planned into the Mojave Desert this summer so I'm hoping these temps are normal because I don't want to think how high they will be with the A/C on in 100 F+ degree heat...
Hope you all can set my mind at ease!
