Just changed coolant.
Hey fellas, I just changed the coolant in my truck, it was all.. yucky looking, but nothing bad came out. Came out all good, nothing clogged. I didn't do a complete flush, didn't have the time. But, everythings all clean. Now, I filled it up with coolant, ran it. Filled it up more, let it get the air out. I let the truck idle and it went up to about 230.. drove it around and it stayed at about 205-210. I haven't checked the coolant recently cause it's been a bit hot. But does it usually take a bit for the air to completely get out? Cause it shouldn't be idling at 230. I didn't use the mopar coolant they recommend, I have the 50/50 prestone HOAT.
I'm also thinking that I should replace my thermostat with a 180.. I don't know if its ever been replaced before. I heard they're a pain to replace in the 4.7
