210-230 ish temps
Just noticed its runnin warm. Its getting nicer around here so temps coming up. But that shouldn't effect my rig that much I think!?!? O.o In the winter was runnin just under 210 so........ Seems like today it was actually getting warmer at hwy speeds and turning the heater on didn't help a bit. Would eventually come back down to around 210. Thanks for any help!!!

Get in there and check things out now. Don't end up like me. Just pulled water pump, t-stat. Overheated on the highway and I just left it till the next day so it could cool down. looks like t-stat was stuck in closed position.
Good luck

that's far too high, especially for this time of year. How is your coolant level and condition?

It usually ran around 195 where it should but for the last 2-3 days it had been sitting around 215-220. I was planning on doing a flush and check on Saturday. Too bad it overheated Friday night.

i doubt it's the thermostat, it would be getting much higher than that if it were stuck closed
