I was just driving my 2017 ram 1500 ad the oil temp too high light came on and the truck went into limp mode. The oil pressure was good as well as the coolant and trans temp. No leaks. 46k on new engine.

What was the temperature?
 
It got up to 297. I think I figured out the problem. Looks like the EGR Cooler seal gave out. The coolant temp didn't climb. I noticed the coolant tank low. When I poured hot water in it gushed out the passenger side right where the egr cooler is.

Was it the EGR?
 
It was the turbo coolant line and coolant valve. They are under the intake on the back of the engine. It cost me $2200. They had to take everything of the top of the engine to get at it.
