[QUOTE="jeepjoe43, post: 428079, member: 19255"] I thought that too, especially with the lower radiator hose having that bump to clear the diff, filling it cold it would take more coolant when I pushed it down. The coolant fluid capacity is 9 quarts or 2.25 gallons and that is almost exactly how much it took, maybe a little more. I have thoroughly burped the system, still 210. Going to verify temps today with an IR temp gun to check the accuracy of the gauge. I'm suspect of the gauge because it just does not act like a hot motor, not that 210 is overheating, but that's not my happy place. I used to have Flatfender with a 175hp, 2.0L Pinto motor that NEVER went over 170 with a crappy old Datsun radiator/w electric fan. Just seems bizarre to me that a 125hp wind up motor would run that warm with my cooling system, radiator's supposed to be good to 300hp. [/QUOTE]
