    towing loaded three horse stock trailer

    mine does this but only it heats up quick when the rpms are high,and when i shift to od the gauge drops quickly,i think it normal,going uphill the engine is workin harder so it heats up quick because of more fuel,going down is less fuel so it cools quicker,thats my opinion anyway,goodluck
