Normal Operating Temperature

99 Blazer

90* yesterday, running A/C and my temperature would hit 225 while in stop and go traffic and cool down to 220 when cruising. Would run 210 to 215 with A/C off. Off course when the temp got high the fan clutch locked and cause temp to go higher while killing acceleration.

New 195 thermostat was installed a few month ago and a new red cap has been installed recently.

I guess I will go to a 180 thermostat to see if that helps?


Why the hell did they stop making the thicker rad and go down to a 1" core?

Suggestions?
