i had 197 today on this 85 degree day in Michigan with AC on

 

In cool weather my 2.2 runs between 187 and 198, when the fan cuts on and brings it back to 187. In hot weather with the AC on the fan runs full time, and it runs about 189 to 192, unless its over 100 degrees, then it runs beween 195 to 210 or so. Last summer during a really nasty heat wave, temps were around 115, the coolent temps were running 210 to 220 on the freeway, but cooled when driven at lower speeds.

 

'08 SS, 192-198 mostly. Saw 210° in January when idling in a parking space, the grill plugged with snow and ice.

 

mine keeps hitting 235 just had new thermostat radiator waterpump and Head Gasket done. getting frustrated with this car

 

Is your fan motor working, mine was getting that hot till I changed the fan assembly, working fine since.

 

Mines stayed at 196* during normal operation since I've owned it. Hasn't gotten hotter than that.

 

OK another update Car over heated again called dealership They had me rev the engine to 3500 RPM and I heard it gurgle then temp doped.
They believe there is air getting in somewhere in one of the hoses. so waiting on hoses to come in so I can get it done. .................................................
was told this could have been the culprit from the beginning. Air pocket no flow through water pump so that overheats gaskets disintegrate and clog the Radiator and thermostat. Dam AIR lol You just have to laugh because if I don't I just might cry.

 

Just finished running two days hard up and down some good grade mountain sides ( Yellowstone, Big Horn.. some 7 %'ers too) and temp never rose,, at all...even running 4k rpm in I gear...little 2.2 a beast!

 

Yeah, we know - we know... we know. Why? cause you are also posting the same updates in other threads. Makes for boring reading man.

 

Thats what mine runs ans the outside temp allsummer 90o- 105o.
