Installed an aluminum radiator with 2 fans and new blingin samco hoses.
According to DSMlink cars temp is around 216, whether sitting at a light or going 80 on the highway. During a hard pull it went up to 219. Lowest I've seen it stay steady at is 210.
Thermostat opens in a pot of water slowly starting at 180 to fully open at 195.
Burped the system a million times with heat on full blast.
No obvious/visual leaks.
Added a turbo blanket and heat wrap and temps have not changed. Reason I'm worried is 2 others with the same setup (DJ and Jason) were seeing temps of 190.
Coolant mixture of about 70 water 30 coolant with a bottle of water wetter.
Thoughts on wtf is going on?
