I was looking at some archive posts and problems with the 3126 running hot were discussed. My engine runs at about 180 degrees and will get up to 190 or so on steep grades. Is this running hot or is this within the normal operating range?

Your T-stat probably does not open till 190 ;) Your doing just fine. worry if it gets above 220 for long periods of time. When you really work it in the heat it probably will crawl up last 205-210 until your at the top of the hill or up to highway speeds.
