I've got another thread where I'm working on a cooling system problem, but haven't got an answer to my question about engine temps. I have an ultragauge and I'm super nervous about getting it too hot... thus my question, what's that range? haven't gotten over 206 at idle yet... any insights would be greatly appreciated. Don't wanna crap something major out trying to figure out if I've got a bad radiator...

 

never mind once I posted this, there were a ton of related posts listed below... looks like anything up to 215 is nothing to worry about... now to continue the troubleshooting. (the moral of the story, look a little more before asking the same already answered question and I won't look like a jerk)

 

My Ultragauge is ranged between 188-195F. It use to be at 225 all day. Until I flushed the coolant and put in a new thermostat. Good luck on your over heating problem!!
