[Vwdiesel] Normal Operating Temp

[gatjohnston at aol.com]

I have a 1980 Diesel Pickup and installed a direct reading gauge.  It runs 
about 200 degrees during weather between 72 to 80 degrees on a level  road 
around 70 MPH. Start climbing or surface street stop and go and it will  
quickly go to 210 to 220 degrees. The radiator was replaced 4 yrs. ago just as a 
 precaution. Is this considered normal? I would appreciate comments.  Dick
