What temp are you guys running?
I have the Nordskog digital gauges so I can tell right where im at unlike the stock GM gauges. Im running right at about 213- 220 after a few minutes. Im using a stock 4.3L Blazer radiator that was replaced about 8-10k ago with a 16" electric fan that for some reason comes on right after I start it up. I had Brian at pcm4less program it to come on earlier but not that early. He said its at 205 I think. I replaced the ECT about a week ago and it is still doing it.
I also have a issue with it getting around 220 and having a miss and it seems to be leaning out, at least on the left bank where I have the A/F ratio gauge hooked up. Any help?

like I said the fan comes on about 2 seconds after the truck is started so thats no prblem. I was wondering more if there are more things done to the computer to help compensate for the lower thermostat
