Normal Operating TEmperature?
MY engine runs at a lil over 210, a lot of people have told me that if it runs a lil hot but doesnt exceed the limit of the car its not a big deal and may run better. Just need some more opinions on normal operating temp on my car...thanks

If I drive on a summer day with the A/C off it will be at 210, or sitting in traffic it will go above 210 and the cooling fans will come on to cool it off.
If I drive on a summer day with the A/C on it will stay at 180 driving or sitting in traffic because the fans stay on.

wow...another cooling thread lol
stock operating temps. 185-195 for thermostat operating range, 226/235 for the fans to kick on. so if your hitting 235, the car should be ok cuz GM says they dont want it to exceed that point basically.
