In a 2000 GMC Jimmy, the coolant temperature should typically range between 195°F to 220°F (90°C to 104°C) when the engine is operating under normal conditions. If the coolant temperature exceeds 240°F (115°C), it may indicate overheating, which can lead to engine damage. Always refer to the owner's manual for specific guidelines and monitor the temperature gauge to ensure safe operating conditions.
On a 2000 GMC Jimmy, the coolant temperature sensor is typically located on the engine block, near the thermostat housing. It is often positioned on the intake manifold, towards the front of the engine, making it accessible for replacement or inspection. This sensor plays a crucial role in monitoring the engine's temperature and relaying that information to the engine control unit.
You can use any SAE certified coolant in your 2000 Kia. The coolant should have a minimum temperature rating of -25 degrees Fahrenheit and 120 degrees Fahrenheit.
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.
Originally it would have had "DexCool" and it should be flushed and changed every 5 years or 100K miles.

Dex-cool coolant highly corrosive is eating away at gaskets mainly intake manifold gasket.
The Engine coolant temperature sensor is installed in a coolant passage which is located at the front left cornerof the cylinder head.
