Default Nothing wrong - coolant system maintenance

Flushed out and re-filled the coolant on my 07 4.7. Also replaced the block to heater core hoses, t-stat, and t-stat housing. 'Ol girl is now running "a needle width" cooler; this is after an hour on I-75 last Saturday.

That's about where my 08 Hemi has run since new. Should be around 195-200 at the part of the gauge according to my Diablosport Predator when data logging..

I did replace with another stock 195 t-stat. I wish I thought to hook my scanner to read the live data but I'll do that next road trip.

I have a 195 degree stat and mine runs a hair below midline…always…..you may still have a small air bubble but not enough for it to cause issue

Re-did my cooling system recently. Needle always was just below the centerline. Now, it's right on the centerline.
The difference is probably the new send unit.
