Default Normal running temp?

What temp us regular? Mine runs right in the middle at 210 most of the time. A friend of mine said that was high, he also doesn't have a jeep. So is that high?

That's about normal. Mine usually runs a tick under but when Im stopped in traffic on a hot day it can get up to 212. There are a few cheap ways you can reduce the heat under the hood. Hood vents, spacers, etc. Do a little research. There are plenty of write ups pertaining to this issue.

Without a stat the coolant would flow all the time.
