may03LT Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 I would consider 2 lines under halfway normal for a gm......now erratic gauge/ overheating/ fluid loss.....that would be a problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrwigglezdj Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 yea thats nothing to worry about, ofcourse the temp will be higher on the gague since you put in the 180 from a 160, but 210 isnt a temp to be in a worry about, if you feel unconftrable with the current temp, just replace it with the orignal seting thermo Quote Americas loudest work van2006 iasca heavyweight bassboxing champion at 150.4 db with 60second average TL8 memphis PR15s,12 memphis PR6.5's coax,4 memphis PR 1inch tweets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dwright27 Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 my silverado has ran 260, and dumped coolant/water through the exhaust pipe. and the head gasket is blown, so if you get that, its the head gasket going 9 times out of 10.
