Whats alittle? 200f? 250f?
You will get warning lights,messages etc on the dash when you do over heat it
Not sure about the dmax but the gas trucks shut down cylinders when they get to hot

Ill get a pic of the gauge when im out in the 108° heat again.
The gauge was reading in the 235 marker earlier when pulling the jeep on the trailer.
Took the Jeep to town to attempt to sell it. Have it so it runs now so getting interest.

Ford has been running engines at a constant 250 in testing since the early days of the mod motor.
Even if GM is as behind the times as you are an '07 truck should have no problem operating below the coolant boiling temp for a couple hours.

I’m surprised all the gauges still work on that cluster. The gas gauge and voltmeter are the only gauges that still work correctly on my beater truck. I just ignore the pos and wait till the hud gives me a warning.

You're fine. My 07 6.6 lbz hit the 235 mark while towing about 8k up the summit on I-80 with the a/c on and about 80 outside temp. Cooled right back down once I hit the top of the hill. Same thing on the way home in 90 degree outside temp. Them engines run a little warm. It's when the needle doesn't go back down is when you have a problem.

They've learned a few things from those days. Most of it for the better. But I agree, everything now is getting a little too electronically controlled now a days.
Whats the best CR (Compression Ratio) for a BBC in a 6-7K# 85 Chevy truck?
Cast Iron block & heads, cam choice is up in the air as it has a blower grind in it now but can swap it out easily has a gear drive with cam cover that pops out easily.
Need to get my lotus 123 CR Program up and running again.
Guess Ill have to buy roller lifters again.

Is that first year the dmax had egr? Fuckin gm always halfasses cooling, they added cooling load from egr but never upped cooling capacity, used the same rad from last gen. I’m convinced the reason the upper radiator hose is 6 feet long on many gm vehicles is just to add coolant capacity.
Unsure its been called the best dmax engine in many at least up to that year, unsure about after.
Gee my egr and cat seem to have been lost.
Boating accident I suppose...

In 2001, the Duramax turbo diesel was introduced to the GM 3/4 ton, 1 ton trucks and commerical trucks. In 2004.5, the EPA required a catalytic converters (Cat) and exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) on the LLY engines.Feb 28, 2017
