Maybe I'll experiment with the valve on my next long trip. I was driving with the heater on this entire trip, so perhaps that took some of the heat away from the water heater. I only had the aux pump on at night when there wasn't enough heat... By the way, with the 6V92TA there's a noticeable decrease in engine temperature when you add a gallon of oil. I've read about people running a gallon high on oil in very hot weather to cool the engine down. I suspect running it a gallon low, or right at the bottom of the dipstick, will warm the engine up in cold weather. I'm not gonna experiment with that but I couldn't help but notice the temperature change this time when I added a gallon of oil and the level went from the bottom of the dipstick to the top.
