I have an 2006 Escalade 6L. I just moved to Vegas and pulled the boat out last saturday. So the heat out here is pretty intense and my Escalade is not liking pulling the boat in it. It has gotten almost to the 3/4 mark on the temp gauge and it freaked me out a little bit. I have talked to several mechanics shops, ended up replacing the thermostat (did nothing). Yesterday I talked to a shop that came with a good recommendation. They said these trucks are really just not meant to be a towing machine. They are fairly capable, however at 110, with the A/C on pulling up a hill that it is going to warm up pretty good. He said just keep it out of the red.
As soon as I top the hill it comes down. Even just setting and idling it isnt running hot. I think he is probably right, just looking for input.
