[Chrysler300] running temp

["Tony Bevacqua" <tonysru2@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I found my over temp problem was simply in calibration of the gauge.  Sent
mine to Jeff Carter after getting his replacement, calibrated gauge, and
found that my old one was indicating way too hot, especially in the summer
time.  Shows great now, so I feel much more comfortable.

my question is, at what temp do your 300's run. on a relatively warn day,
No telling, Tim.  For some reason, my K coupe has always run hot at the
slightest cause.  Hot weather, slow traffic - whatever - sometimes it runs
hot at
full speed on a hot day.  Other times, it runs at a midrange temperature as
long as the weather is cool to normal, but it will heat up whenever the
outside
temperature gets really high.  On the other hand, my G always runs in the
lower
half of the "normal" range, virtually no matter what.  At the Plymouth, MI
meet, we got stuck in a traffic jam for maybe 20 minutes and the gauge hit
the
max, but the radiator didn't boil over.  As soon as we started moving (and I
mean within 100 yards) the gauge was back in the normal range.

I haven't tried it yet, but I understand that NAPA has a product that will
drop your operating temperature at least 30 degrees, and that should be
enough
for any engine under most operating conditions.
