Default Re: What do you think about these temps and why?

Outside temp increase will increase operating temp. A water circulatory backup system which allows coolant to circulate in the engine when the thermostat is closed has helped me cool things down. Maybe the fan shroud has helped too.

After installing the backup, my temps on a hot day sure have moderated. I use 50 percent coolant, 160 thermostat, a two blade fan, and radiator shroud. So far this summer here in Jax, temp hasn't gone over 190. Good luck and try a backup and maybe a fan shroud.
