how many temp. in this truck we should consider?
i know the 1st guage on the right, that measures the water temp. right?
and the electronic guage in the middle screan that measures the oil temp.
and in the DashHawk i set it to disply the Engine Coolant Temp (ECT)
ok. at multible WOT or constent Drive with high RPM i got as high as:
1st guage on the right: 205F
Oil temp.: 244F
ECT: 212F
weather is hot and humid here: heat is 100-120, Humidity is 50%
is this normal or do i need to be alerted about something?
is there any other temp i should look for or consider?
nowing that i am running stock tstat, stock cap, factory coolant, no manifold spacers and i have mopar cai on.

Those numbers sound correct for the ambient conditions.

Ya, if your running stock t-stat that looks about right.

HarrisonZ...any feedback/comment though on my temp. #s?
Add me to the list of the several who have agreed that your numbers are where they should be under the conditions noted.
For coolant temps, the low fan comes on around 217F and shuts off at 212F. The high fan comes on at 226F and shuts off at 219F. The cooling system in the SRT8's was tested and designed to withstand extreme temperatures, low and high. Ya gotta give kudos to the engineers, it is extremely rare to hear about any SRT8 owner who has had overheating issues.
An oil temp of 244, under WOT/hot climate conditions is probably under average so no worries there. I know I have hit up to 260 while running at the track. While staying on the cooler side is "better", the engineers have said not be concerned unless you break 300F, and even then there is more "headroom".
