I'm gauge reads between 205 n 210 at running temp... Is this normal for these trucks?


Thanx

 

No. Factory thermostat is 195, it should be around that.

How is the coolant level?

 

I have a small coolant leak around the neck on the engine.

 

Well fix it then, and flush system while it's apart, and see if it runs a little cooler.

 

fix the leak flush and put new coolant make sure nothing is covering your radiator, although ac condenser is in front still might not be cooling right.. mine was covered in mud and i was running a few degrees above normal

 

My truck runs about the same temp. aprox. 205-210. been that way since I bought it. backflushed cooling system, new temp sensor,thermastat (195)deg. still stays the same. I assumed the gauge was just off a little

 

Mine runs straight up on 200 going down the road...while sitting it will get to like 205 for about 40 or so seconds while sitting at a red light. It's always done that though...

 

Mine ran around 210 then I put a gallon of water in it and now its back to around 180-190.

Seems a tad high would make sure it is full with no air pockets.

 

Yup, definitely not normal guys.

Before my electric fans or 180 thermostat, with a wobbly clutch fan, I'd get to 200, absolute max, on a hot summer day with the A/C on full blast.
