Re: temp degree

When I am cruising at 30 mph or more I run about 180 degrees, now when I am below 30mph I run at 220 degrees and my cooling fan kicks on.
----------
A normal radiator temp is between 195 and 220 degrees

The manual likes to make you think as long as it's not in the red your good to go. I would say around 190-200 range.
