Using my Garmin Eco Route connected to my ODBII port, I'm usually running around 208°F.

Is the electric fan in front of the radiator coming on when you switch on the ac?

Under 200 is the sweet spot with AC on. I have a 2003 that runs at 195 max(180 t stat). 2004 that runs at 190 (inline t stat mod- 175).

Check the electric fans.

188.6 on the freeway, AC on or off.

197 at idle max, same with or without AC.

I frequently run in ECON mode but have tried turning it completely off just to see what the temp does... nada diff.

Read with Ultragauge.
