What does that one cyl low mean? according to the manual its within spec of 75% of all other cyl. I am just wondering why that one is so low? What should the cyl be at with 170k on it?

If the manual says 75%, guess u r ok. I've always read cylinders should be within 10% high to low.

Okay now I feel like a dumb a$$. I hooked the gauge up again and drove around the block a few times with A/C on off. Hovered between 195 and 205. Then Drove around with the A/C on Temp climbed to 220-230. So after double checking everything I found (thanks to me buddy) that when I plugged the electric fan back in I had the leads backwards. So it was pushing instead of pulling. So drove it around today with the A/C on high and she runs 210-220. Sitting in Traffic right at 220. So yup i feel stupid.

But all in all do you think that those temps are correct? Should I drop to a 180 T-stat or leave it alone?

Thanks for all the imput by the way.
