If you have air brakes you might want a oil/water separator, more Farcebook nonsense.
Coolant temp should never get below 180F, bad t-stat. Fan does not turn on until 219F then off when the temp gets to 180F.
Blow by is from rings. Lots of blue smoke from valve guides.
Any oddities with oil or water levels? Check the water under the pressure cap, not just the bottle.
Maybe use red font. In dark mode you can hardly read it.

I can see Don’s post just fine.
Maybe you should get out of dark mode.

There are contrast problems in both modes but probably worse in dark mode. It is typically browser and even device dependent, because not all displays show the same colors. With my Android device, it's impossible to read the blue in the quotes and the user tags when in dark more. I highlight the quotes or scroll up to read them.

My point in using red is it is visible regardless of dark mode or not.

Well I’m confused. If using red is the way to be visible, then why aren’t you typing in red ?
