I'm running Royal People 5/20 and s Royal Purple filter. About 39k total on the truck.

What are the normal ranges for oil, coolant and Oil Pressure.

On a 30 mile Highway trip running around 80mph in North Texas at about 80°

Coolant: 210°
Oil: 222°
Oil Pressure: 56psi

Oil Temp seems a little high and Oil Pressure seems a little low. I seem to recall I'll pressure closer to 65 previously, but it was cooler.

This is my first ram. What's the scoop?

The engine operates at 210, that is the function of your thermostat. Cooler then that, you don't burn off water in the system, warmer you lose performance. 56 psi is very normal, mine is 55 psi with 5w30 oil. No issue's here. Oil temp a tad high and my coolant runs just under 200, but I wouldn't worry about it I have the 6 speed. You are smart to keep an eye in it. If it gets to 240, either coolant or oil, let us know.

Dang. My oil pressure, at operating temp, is 51-52 while cruising at highway speed. It'll jump up to 55-57 when taking off from a stop. At idle, in gear, it's anywhere from 24-28. Pretty damn low if you ask me. But, it's always been like that from day 1.
