My truck is stock all the way, including no extra guages. The only time any guage moves much at all is the trans guage climbing a long hill. As for cool down, a bit of common sense says not to climb to the top of Pikes Peak and immediately shut the engine down. I flew jet/turbine powered airplanes and helicopters for years (still do) and their engines are the same as ours...the planes cool down during taxi, the helicopters have a two minute cool down after landing/hovering...that's what I do...a two minute idle.

A previous poster mentioned these trucks were built for normal use, not as we use them...I have to disagree. These things are built and meant to tow and work hard, towing a Montana is 'normal' for them.
