The 4.2 L 6-cylinder engine uses a 195* thermostat per the factory specifications.

The thermostat begins to open at 195* and is fully opened by about 200*.

200-215* as shown by your dash board temperature gauge is considered normal operating temperature if your cooling system is in good condition and properly maintained.
