![]() I was wondering what the average operating temp. is on people's GT's. My car seems to run hotter than I'd like, either at the M or A in NORMAL.
I know its a vague measurement, but I don't have an aux gauge. I'm planning on draining and running a different mix with more water. The part that upsets me is that Ford replaced my thermostat a month ago and filled it up.

![]() I can't explain it, and I was too busy to change the mix. Hopefully I'll get to it before this weekend. For sure before I go out to Mead at the end of the month.

![]() My temp needle in my '96 usually stays right in the middle of the O in NORMAL, unless I'm sitting in traffic with the air running.
