Just curious what other people are seeing for temperatures. With 90 degree F ambient mine stays around 200 to 207 degrees. It has gone as high as 220 degrees going up a hill. The standard temperature guage stays at 1/3 of the scale and doesn't fluctuate. 1999 275 HP V10.

My Scan GaugeII shows between 198 and 209. The dash gauge shows about 1/3rd and never moves after warm up.

My clutch fan comes on toward the top of steep grades or going slow in traffic etc. when it is 95 or hotter outside.

I have had the Scan Gauge for about 3 months and it runs in temps that have been stated. When running flat and level the temp is in the 190's. On a hot, humid day we ran up through Vermont to Lake Placid NY and saw over 200 (207 max) on the long climbs. Also have the TFT transmission fluid temp showing and that temp runs 160-170 deg. when moving along and up to 180 deg once in slower stop and go.

Has anyone tried the throttle position? I tried it to watch it to judge where the downshift point was, but it seems to have a glitch as it was showing 75% throttle anytime it accelerated moderately.
