RE: Is this NORMAL?
Man I just bought a 4.6 and am having the same problem I flushed my coolant yesterday and put a stock thermostat in and it's still running a little warm I think my radiator has a small leak cause I have had to add a little water twice now in the past two days. A new thermostat would be like $6-8$ mine was $8.50 with a lifetime warranty. Good luck

ORIGINAL: pichinco
Both cars run about midway ...somewhere like everyone else said between R-M. I would have considered the lower temperature abnormal.
"Whose brain did I just put in?"
"Abby something."
"Abby who?"
"Abbyyyyy normal I believe."
"Abby Normal?"
"Yes, that's right. Abby Normal."
"You mean I just put an abnormal brain...."
Name the movie!!!
Emann, here's another hint...
"You know I am a doctor, I could fix that hump."
"What hump?"
..or
"Damn your eyes!!"
"Too late!"
..or
"What knockers!"
"Why thank you doctor!"

the needle is still between the n and the l, which is still normal to me. maybe with mods it runs a little hot.

Can we keep this on-topic please!?!?!
I believe the stock thermostat is 192/195ish?
Andy: I heard not to go to a 160 b/c it doesn't let the car get to full operating temp. But you know what, I'll be taking the car (has 4.30's) out to Iowa, so cooler is better.

RE: Is this NORMAL?
Does that 12 degrees make that big of a difference? And a new thermostat is seriously 8 bucks????
Coolant level is fine BTW... nice and full and a beautiful green!
