Temps Normal?

Yesterday I was hauling between 19000-20000lb squash on I'm guessing a gooseneck that weighs 5000 and my truck weighs 7500lb totaling around 32500lb gross while running 35" tires. I did the message center trick and my coolant temp never rose over 111 degrees which seems kinda cool for a diesel compared to tractors and other equipment I run. I was loading the truck heavily up some hills and it would only hold about 45-50 WOT. Just wondering how the coolant temp relates to the engine temps and make sure everything was in check. ambient air temp around 98 degrees.

Thanks

Yes, It usally stayed around 108-109. About the 650, I pulle the same loads frequently w/my 02 250 and traded it with 100,000+ miles and no problems. It also had an 54hp tow program that I ran the whole time. Just never saw the temps rise on the 7.3 and was curious about the 6.0
thanks
