Re: How hot does your PA run?

Before I changed my radiator my temps would run around 195-205 degrees in city traffic. Highway traffic it would run at 192-195 degree more so at 192 with consistent cruising. I used a scan tool and from personal observation the temp gauge would be one mark lower on the interstate. With my new radiator which is about twice as thick as the old one city temps run from 188-196 but mostly at the 194-196 mark since the thermostat is rated for 195 degrees and daily temps have been at the bordline 100 degree mark for the last week. Highway cruising temp has remained the same at around 192 degrees. These cars have good coolant capicity. For my normal driving conditions (city) with my new heavy duty radiator the temp gauge now reads on mark lower.
