Default engine Temp
Just curious what everyones normal engine temp is. I'm out here in Arizona and I normally run at about 200. Not sure if that's too high or not.

I run at about 225 without the K&N FIPK and 210-215 with the K&N FIPK in the summer.
I also have a 195 degree T-stat

160 might set off your CEL. I believe dodges run in an open loop until above 170.
