Default Re: Engine temp rises when I get to cruise speed

Something to consider the load on the engine at 60 MPH is greater than at 30 MPH even at the same RPM. The vacuum reading at 60 will be less than at 30 showing the engine is now under greater load. You really need to determine if the radiator is actually dropping temp entering the engine from what it was leaving the engine.
