Default it has been super hot here in Florida - with the ac on...

Hi all...

Yesterday it was really hot...96 to be exact with dew points of 70+++...

Im a native, but had to use the AC yesterday

Running down the interstate my temps were high...not warning high but with the AC on my coolant was running a consistent 220...(for an hour measured by a Bluetooth adapter and the coolant gage on the dash was exactly the same)
If I turned the AC off it went back to 200...
I have not seen this behavior before...I have pulling my trailer...but not just a general run with the van...
I have done everything to it lately...Im am wondering if the coolant I used sucks? Or does you van in the extreme heat run like this...
Thanks

Not surprising it runs that hot when it's almost 100 degrees out...... 220 is nothing to worry about though. The thermostat is likely 195..... So long as it stays away from the red, yer good.
