How hot is too hot?

[Fets]

On days like 60 degrees and over my car runs around 200-220 degrees!?! Is this normal???? Whats normal

It is if you're running a stock T-stat and a original radiator.....though it's a tad high. A new OE replacement rad with a 180 stat would drop temps quite drastically.

I got the 180 because mine went up to 210 before... at the moment it snows, and it takes looong until the car has reached it's operating temp.

i just bought me a 180 thermostat...now i need a water temp gauge.

Do you have an aftermaket gauge(electric or mech). But your temp is normal until you change the fan settings. but temps should lower at cruizing speeds.

the best solution is a better/bigger.

My car ran hot too.
the stock radiator is so thin, it's crazy.

 

[AaRoN]

stock t-stats are best. there have been no known gains from a lower degree t-stat.
