Hey what are the expected operating temps for the 2.9L?
I install a mechanical gauge in my moms Bronco II, because she was say its was always sitting at the top of the dash gauge. its a 1988 auto 4x4 sitting on 31's, new thermostat, 4.0L radiator.
Its seems to get to 205* in just a few blocks and just sits there. running the heater on full does not change the temp more than 3*
I can tell the stat is opening up it takes a dip to 190 and then back up too 205 and does not dip again.
To me it seems to be running a lot hotter than other 2.9L i have owned.
