How hot do your SHOs run?

[ILLSHOU]

Mine runs up to the R in traffic, and then the fan kicks it down to the M to A. If im moving pretty good on the highway or something it tends to float around the M, prob due to the extra air flow. The R seems to be like a halfway point on the gauge, i was just wondering what everyone elses run

Mine runs about the same...if I am sitting in a drive-thru or something, it gets up between the O and the R before the fan kicks on. When crusing down the highway, its stays at about the M.

Sounds about right. Keep in mind these gauges are not the most accurate

My thermostat opens/keeps the coolant right between the M and A when highway driving, ect, and the fan will come an between the N and O.

Mine never gets above the L. I have a feeling I need a new temp sensor.

NO NOT judge operating temperature by the dash guage.

These engines, like most of the same generation, are intended to operate in the 195-210 F range.

Use only an accurate temperature measuring device to determine if you have a cooling system concern.

Swap out the thermostat, it's most likely stuck open.

with a 60/40 mix of H20/AF + WaterWetter I run between the M & A on the crappy dash gauge, and in stop and go i get up to between the O & R when the LPM proggy tells the fan to kick on.
