+1 on my '03 it goes off at 209 F. I see temps in the 220's and even up to the 230's.

Interesting. Mine goes off at about 200. Also see as high as upper 220s; have never seen 230.

Mac check the temp sensor connection for any corrosion, Ruhi was getting erratic high temps and though he had a problem .

We removed the temp sending unit and cleaned both the sensor and the electic plug put a little dielectic grease on the plug and it fixed the problem.

The weekend of WiXX I noticed mine getting hot quicker than usual with no leaks & normal coolant levels. After a quick peek at the radiator, I noticed I had picked up some of that cement like sludge from where they cut it wet in construction zones around here. That & a fair amount of bugs lodged in the fins.

Also tested the coolant & noticed it's good to -50f.

Power washed the radiator & added some water wetter. Much better now...
