Temps & Scangauge
I am courious about other's experiences with reported temps from scangauge.
I have a Q45 w 4.5L V8
Termostat is 180 degrees (new one installed lasst month, before my trip to tx. old one still was working, mainly just precautionary)
car 'overheats' at 240.
( VERY brief experience 2 weeks ago in texas in standing freeway traffic at 3pm in the afternoon, uotside temp 101 degrees!)
************************************************** ***
NORMAL DAY to DAY READINGS:
on a 90 degree day at 55-65mph temp is 197-202
(rarely drops below 193)
around town in traffic temp is 205-218
all is easy to normal driving conditions.
Is it normal to run 20-30degrees over the thermostat 'open' number?
