Hey guys, just wondering what the normal running temp is for a 3.5 V8 EFI?..
Both normal running temp aswell as a maximum temp when offroad doing slow climbs....
Mine will usually sit on 170-180F on the hway and round town, but on some long steep hill climbs, (1st ans 2nd gear L range) it will usually climb up to 210F...
Does that sound normal...???
I'm tossing up with the idea of putting thermos on it for those situations where the engine fan dosent seem to cope...
