coz a 2L or 3L would melt to peices running at those temps...
I'm thinking the same thing cause if mine gets to 450-500 I'm backing off the gas !!!

Bullbar is fine (TJM alloy), had to cut heaps of the back of the grill off. Though it still has the full grill appearance, only the fins are shallow.

430 on the flat (preturbo) is normal range, that's pulling 9psi on a 3.9L engine. I back off at 750C, on longer hills I keep it to about 600/650.

No, I haven't seen a 3.9L 2 or 3L ;)

I still think your probe is probably not reading the true gas temp as a 20 year old horse would outrun a diesel producing only 450-500C in a true reading
