I'm Awesome
I’m new to the TBI motors as my other 400 is a Vortec. I don’t think it’s normal but want to verify in case it is. The temp gauge on my truck from a cold start will climb to 210 before the thermostat opens. The stat is rated for 195. 210 isn’t overly hot but I think there could be a faulty thermostat or an air pocket. Any other ideas? Once it opens, it drops back down to 195.
