so would 210 be out of the ordinary for running temp, or is that just too hot ?

Thanks, ken.

That's well below the expected boiling point of a 40% ethylene glycol solution under 15 psi, which is about 255 F.

When I measure the temp using an IR thermometer pointed in the area of the sensor behind the thermostat housing I read about 210 F after it's fully warmed up and the vehicle's temperature gauge is right in the middle of normal.

So I guess that 210 F could well be "normal".
