Subject: Enlighten Me gurus by daddue11 on 2007/11/14 0:57:36 I know I've heard people on here say they were tired of hearing about the different degreed thermostats, Well here is fuel for the fire gurus. My 84 auto runs at a constant 187-190 coolant temp after running for a couple of minutes,the fan comes on as soon as I start it up and turns off between 33-35 mph. Another friend of mine tells me that it should be running a higher temp for top performance,at least in the 200-210 range. I don't understand his thinking,my car runs like a speckled ape (that means excellent)and it never overheats, It's getting 18mpg in town and 23 on the open road. Am I missing something here,or should I leave it be and don't mess with a good thing? thanks- daddue11 |
