I recently replace the:
-waterpump with a Heisco
-thermostat with a high flow 195*
-thermostat housing with a high flow one from Heisco
-upper and lower hoses
-clutch fan
-serpentine belt.
I am now running really cool. The temp gauge never goes above exactly between the first mark and 210*. At first I thought this was good, but now I am wondering if I am not reaching proper operating temperature. My gas mileage has suffered a bit.
I suppose I should steal the meat thermometer from the kitchen, when my wife isn't looking, and take an actual reading. Should it be 195*?
