Hey guys,
looking to get the general data on what you guys are seeing from your coolant temps relative to the ambient air temp. ON a typical day, 85 or below, the coolant temp while the engine is running seems to be exact, dead on "normal" operating temp on the coolant gauge.
The other day I was in and out of traffic, air temp outside was about 100, and the coolant temp on my gauge was about 1-1.5 marks from the HOT. Never once climbed past that, just maintained there. Later that evening, (Temps below 90) I tried to duplicate the temp I was reading earlier when it was hotter outside, couldn't get it to budge past the "Normal" operating temp... Fan is working, no air in the coolant, WP/TB done a few months ago.
Anyone else experience an "above" normal coolant temp when its 90-100+ degrees outside?
