Ranger Posted April 22, 2004 Report Share Posted April 22, 2004 Sounds pretty normal to me. Mine runs 210-213. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkjr Posted April 22, 2004 Report Share Posted April 22, 2004 The manual on my 96 says tstat opens at 177-184f (81-85c). Look in the back of your owners manual under Capacities and Specifications. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adallak Posted April 22, 2004 Report Share Posted April 22, 2004 in the winter mine is 186 on highways. in the summer time it is 194-196 on highways and some 200-220 in the city. actually fans do not let it get higher than 226.

JasonA Posted April 22, 2004 Report Share Posted April 22, 2004 in the winter mine is 186 on highways. in the summer time it is 194-196 on highways and some 200-220 in the city. actually fans do not let it get higher than 226. Ditto exactly here, even with a different engine (Northstar vs. 4.9). There's even one large hill on I-77 at the VA/NC border (it's like a 5 mile hill) where if I coast down it and the temps are cool enough, I'll see 179*F sometimes on the DIC. Average on mine is 190. Maybe up to 200 in town, and during summertime traffic jambs in southern North Carolina, 210-220 is normal. Jason(2001 STS, White Diamond) "When you turn your car on...does it return the favor?"
