please tell me at what temperature I should pull off the road ? 250? 280? Assuming I can



I would say when it boils over. From what I have read in this thread that has not ever happened. If I remember right the pressure cap is rated at 7 pounds. Also if my memory serves for every pound pressure the boiling point of the water is raised by approx 4 degrees. That means that the water will not boil until it reaches around 240 degrees.
