On my Gauge it shows the temp at the 2 of 210. And my heater seems a bit cool would that have to do with the Thermostat.
210 is exactly where it should run. A 195 degree thermostat is what helps create the environment so the engine runs at 210 as it should.Damn mine sits steady at 210 for running temp. Maybe I need to change my thermostat.
Stuck open failsafe or defective thermostat?Sorry Jerry, not reading what I am typing and fat fingers. It is a 195 and I did do a coolant flush and back flushed the heater core.
The temp looks fine. If the system is flushed then I’d look at the blend doorSorry Jerry, not reading what I am typing and fat fingers. It is a 195 and I did do a coolant flush and back flushed the heater core.
My 99' 2.5 gauge needle basically sits on the # 2 (about 195 on the reader) pretty much all the time in this climate with great heat so I would probably consider a more aggressive core flush.I am right now looking for the Stant SuperStat that fits my 97 2.5.
If you have the fan blowing there should be a temp drop across the coreAlso I don’t think it is the heater core because using a ir thermometer the in and out we’re about the same.
