Coolant temp runs at 205 when sitting,flushed and new thermo
ok i back flushed and refilled with all new Dexcool and a new 195 thermo drilled and now when driving ( outside temp 38 deg ) it runs at 195 perfect but when sitting it goes to 205 or 201 deg is this a problem ? I really dont want to change it all out again. It had a 195 thermo in it but it ran about 183 so i chgd it. Wont this heat up like a bugger in the summer,man I hope I dont have to rechange and put in a 185 I can't believe anything is plugged and ALL the air is out...HELP ! Thanks

No worries. While sitting still, your cooling system is going to warm up some when you are not moving which is normal.
