How Hot is HOT
Hi,
Your Yahoo! ID looks familiar but I don't recall who you are. The buzzer and light are activated by a 210 degree sender on the front of the engine in the same area as the 185 degree fan switch and the sender for the temp gauge. What this means operationally is that the gauge and buzzer/light should agree that the engine is HOT and the fan should be on. The thermostats should also be fully open at 195 +/- 2 degrees, if they are the original CAT units. As a technique, if you find yourself in a situation where you are unable to pull over while overheating (likely, since I've found the CAT will not normally overheat unless climbing a fairly steep grade), turn on your chassis heaters by switching to the winter position (you might want to pre-position the chassis thermostat to on, and the fans to high), your front heaters, the aux pump, and even possibly start the generator to shed the 12volt load onto the chargers and off of the alternator.
