Wondering anyone encountered this issue, and what was your resolution? Truck currently with the dealer. Milage = apx 9000 miles. Coolant level - normal. Off-road vehicle - yes and wash all radiators after each outing.

Mine is B58 motor and I never noticed a higher temperature than 90° Celsius (194 Fahrenheit), even in the mountains or off-road, therefore I would say: not normal. Not that I am looking the whole time at the temperature, but I would have noticed if it came that high.Wondering anyone encountered this issue, and what was your resolution?

Mine's a diesel and sits at 90 C all day, whether solo, heavy towing, uphill and down dale, even heavy towing going steep uphill it still sits at 90 C. That said the heater gives out more heat when working hard.Mine is B58 motor and I never noticed a higher temperature than 90° Celsius (194 Fahrenheit), even in the mountains or off-road, therefore I would say: not normal.

Water boiling is 100C and 212F at standard see pressure - drops to 200 with >5000ft altitude. Are you saying coolant allows for the 120C/248F?Even with plain water , it won't boil until 120C (248F)
Coolant allows an extra margin.
It's helpful to know the conditions under which the OPs' temperature reading was obtained.
No it's the pressure in the system that increases the boiling point. Special coolant ("antifreeze") also raises the BP , somewhat.Water boiling is 100C and 212F at standard see pressure - drops to 200 with >5000ft altitude. Are you saying coolant allows for the 120C/248F?

Interesting, so it started while off road?? I'm assuming it drove home at a higher than normal coolant temperature? and then was towed to the dealer?Since delivery (Dec 2023) I have drive at least dozen off-road events. I washed off the mud/sand after each outing. July/Aug outing was the first observation where high engine temp at highway speed and the truck has been in with the dealer/agent since.
