What if it runs at around 160 almost all the time, and 210 when idle'ing after a while, ive warmed up to 210 in drive throughs/traffic (so far no higher)

is that bad?

 

while driving about 200 to 210, if im on a light, it goes to almost toching the red line...but as soon as I get moving again it goes down

 

^ that doesn't sound good at all..

 

Yeah Im thinking of changing the Tstat to 180, now it has 195 one. or maybe just removing the tstat

 

Wow. The '92 won't even get to 210, and the '98's fan turn on right past the 210 mark. Unless something's going wrong, it never gets past that....Maybe look into a cooling fan temp sensor...

 

i have a 160 t-stat here in cali and 3core radiator and it runs a 160* all the time. with a/c on maybe 180*. except offroad it runs at 200*

 

my temp gauge stays at 100 all the time...but that would be celcius with the Canadian gauge...I think the conversion is around 212

 

I run a 3 row and a 190 t-state
and no mecanical fan right now just the axilery electric
in the city it will get up to 210 then the fan kicks in and back down to
180-190
on the freeway 180 all the time



what part of cali

 

Well, I would not know, I have no temperature gauge to tell me.

 

my 1990 runs around 220-230 right now... I'm trying to figure out why, since that seems pretty high to me. New thermostat and fan clutch are going in soon.

my 2001 runs between 200-210 consistently.

 

After I put my hood vents on I stay 200 even in traffic

 

I got a 3 core. and live in Arizona. Which has been above 100 degrees that last 15 days. mine only goes up to 200 and 210 no matter what i do. During the winter i'm 170-180.

 

mine only runs about 110 -115 for some reason why is that. just write me and let me know thanks

 

i require pics please is you gauge in metric or some thing

 

My '87 Pioneer does the same thing--I don't think I've ever seen it reach 200 or so on the gauge.

However, I did put a stock 195 degree thermostat in it right after I bought it a little over 2 yrs ago. I think the gauge or sender unit just reads low.

My '92 Laredo with a 195 degree new thermostat runs 195-200 all the time.
