Is it bad that mine runs at the line after the 100 degree mark??? Not the 210 mark!! Its actually only hit 210 once since I replaced the radiator!!! And if turn the heater on the gauge drops just below the mark that I'm talking bout!!
Mine only has one mark between the 100 and 210 degree mark
And I forgot I also have a 160 degree thermostat in it!!
Don't wanna Jack the thread or anything!!!

A 160 degree t-stat is not good for a fuel-injected vehicle. The computers are tuned to run properly above 190-195. Id recommend getting the proper 195 thermostat and let that 4.0 get back up to temp.

mine runs right in the middle, BUT at idle while in bad traffic it can go a little above that, then it calms down and goes down lower...
one thing you can do during the warm months is to run straight water or at the most 25% antifreeze
