My 98 constantly runs between 190 and 210 degrees, according to the temp gauge. I would assume the normal operating temperature would be 190-210 if this is the case, and since Chrysler didn't really dork with the specs of the 4.0L too much, I would bet that it remained the same up until the end of the straight 6.
The 2000 Chevy Corvette normal operating coolant temperature is 195 degrees. You can install thermostats that will allow the coolant temperature to only run at 180 degrees.
200 degrees to 220 degrees
Approx 200 deg F
The thermostat is a 195 deg F. Normal range is 190-215.
If only when cold - normal condensation burning off If when at normal operating temperature - could be head gasket leaking Water in oil? Oil in water? With engine at normal operating temperature remove oil dipstick and let a drop fall on a hot part of engine - oil will smoke and water will sizzle
195
Check the transmission fluid level. You have to check this while the engine is running and at normal operating temperature. The symptoms are akin to the fluid level being way too low.
Open drain plug at lower end of radiator Run engine to Normal operating temperature with heater on -no higher When draining stops -- close drain plug Refill radiator slowly to prevent system from becoming "airbound" Start vehicle - bring up to normal operating temperature with heater and re-check coolant level
Around 220 degrees.
Drain radiator RE-fill slowly to prevent and "air lock" Run vehicle to normal operating temperature with heater on Check coolant level
Replace the thermostat.
it tells the radiator fan when to turn on
