Took my 84 Chevy on the highway today, to see if it would overheat with the plow on.
Drove 45 miles, then turned around and came back (90 miles total), with speeds averaging between 60-70mph.
The blade was raised abpout 85%, and tilted to the right 100%. I had about 5" of room above the blade for airflow, and the temperature guage only raised apprx. 5 degrees from where it normally runs (195).
Question though...should I install a lower temp thermostat, maybe a 180 or a 160? Or is the temp low enough already?
