V6 Pentastar running extra warm

[tobe1424]

Apologies for not getting back to you. I've left tons of voicemails to the one and only service advisor at my local Dodge Ram dealer who is willing to do the work I instruct him to do. All other dealers tell me that they need to run a diagnostic and charge me $100 - without they won't even acknowledge my request even with a TSB this is really frustrated.

Any how, turns on the 'cool' service adviser returns Monday from vacation. I will track him down and update you asap.

I can't thank you enough!! Rest assure I will keep you posted.

Does anyone know if 220 is the normal temp? If not, it could be something simple like the thermostat.

230 is the normal temp.

I was able to communicate with the service advisor. He promised to call back. Never hear from him. I assume he's queued up - will try again tomorrow.

Sounds to me like there isn't an issue then.

He's been told that a few times. They run warmer than others. Mine consistently runs between 225 and 230.

Tobe's gauges are the issue. They're reading too high, which is a known problem. Once he can find a dealer that will flash the gauges, all will be well.

What lharrelll has been saying. Car runs smooth. I put over1k miles in less than a month with hours stuck in traffic with no 'real' overheating issue.

My service adviser is now waiting for his supervisor to return from vacation since he has to "approve" me skipping the diagnostic fee - silly bureaucratic stuff. Just for the sake of lharrell I would like to follow all the way through

Just as a reference, here's my 2013 v6/8spd CC at 84 degrees outside temp after running around for 20 mins..
Coolant @ 220
