Just noticed that since the temperature has dropped in my area and I'm using heat my ultra gauge shows my rover is running warmer. Normally I run 200 to idle at 204. Now I'm running 204-208. Anyone else see a temperature change this time of year?

 

Yes but the OTHE WAY. 2003 is normal at 194 now 185. 2000 normal is 204-210 now 194 or lower. I verified a Radiator is in my future with the fact that I got a temp DROP so the radiator is not doing its job 100% (220,000 miles on the 2000)

 

You need to do the 180 degree stat . Will make a huge improvement and will stop cooking your engine
Mine went from 210 - 215 to 180-190 changing the stat.
If you temp is going up in colder temps you may have other problems
