Coolent temps.

[Big Man]

Those with aftermarket water temp. gauges, what are your coolent temps getting up to? I installed a Autometer water temp guage a couple of months ago and ever since the temps only get up to 180 degrees. It hit 190 a few times rollin down the interstate at 75 in high 90 degree air temps and the A/C cranked up, but thats it. That seems kinda low. What thermostat does our trucks come with?

So do those temps sound right for a 180 t-stat?

Just wondering, where did you install the sender?

Temps look normal to me?

The plug in the block above the oil filter. I took a bath in coolent getting it in.;-)

Those temps look good to me. I have the sender in tapped into the T-Stat housing. My temps never get above 185. I have an EFan and a 170* t-stat.
