is it normal??

I'd be extremely worried that the temp gauge doesn't work AND you're getting other indications of very high temps.

How long have you had the truck? Has the temp gauge ever worked?

the temp gauge move when towing up hill and normally stays down like in that pic i posted before.
done this mod. about a year ago.

got the truck about 2.5years ago with 95.000Km, now 248.962Km
so far happy with it, and no complaints specially for the price i paid for it.

somethings not right there, that looks more like gearbox oil from transmission box

was gonna say engine oil, but 9 times out of ten on diesels engine oil tends to be black

atf when new should be cheery red, then as it gets older looks more like ribena, then goes black and should be replaced.
