My '01 lw300 stays hot for quite some time. Is it much hotter on a longer
trip? Much of the heat may just be coming off of the upstream catalytic
converters which are right up near the motor.
AFIK the temperature gauge reads from the Colant temperature sensor (CTS).
If the sensor is not reading right you may be getting the wrong indication.
Possible things to do:
Check the coolant to make sure that it doesn't need a flush and refill. Have
someone with a scanner readout the CTS temperature and compare to a physical
temperature reading (with a thermometer or similar). Check that the fans are
working properly.
As I recall, you also had a problem with a noisy engine. I don't recall
reading anything from you whether it was resolved.

Well the engine will feel super Hot after just a short trip, and it
takes a long time to cool down, Like two hours after just a ten mile
trip. This can't be normal, can it?
