Here's what the gauge looks like my 2001 2500hd, and you can see what it indicates as being too hot, this being said, the hottest I've ever seen it is about 180 in the summer, unloaded.
Directions. 1  In a Dutch oven, cook ground beef and onion until meat is no longer pink and onion is tender; drain. 2  Add the next eight ingredients; bring to a boil. 3  Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 1 hour, stirring occasionally. 4  Remove the bay leaf. 5  Serve with spaghetti. 6  Garnish with oregano if desired.
Place all of the ingredients, except the prawns, basil and spaghetti, into a deep saucepan over a medium heat, season with salt and freshly ground black peper and simmer for four minutes. Transfer the tomato sauce into a food processor and blend until smooth.
