A lot of people are wondering about operating temps. This is the
3rd forum I've seen it on this week. (I'm a whore and I know it)
My factory gauge does the same...1/2 to 3/4.....
My Scan Gage II however, shows the actual coolant temp to be in the 190 to 210 range.
210 came at 16:00 hours, 97 degrees ambient temp, stuck on I-20 in a traffic jam with A/C set on Antarctic.
Factory gauge was almost touching the 3/4 mark.
