What temp do +8's normally run?
Jeremy, I think the gauges are so inaccurate that it’s not really a case of what other +8s normally run at, rather an indicative reference point to see fluctuations.
My +8 (a 1996 3.9) has always indicated 95-100 degrees, going up to 115-120 when it’s hot. That was until it badly overheated recently and is now awaiting a new aluminium rad. I’d just had the water pump replaced so that shouldnt have been at fault.
Good luck with the fault finding.
