Thermostat Temp Increase

I'm not sure when they increased it but I like it. My older Escalade is well below 200. This is 210. We're all enjoying the improved heat.

Glad to know I'm not the only one whose gauge sits at 210.

There is nothing wrong with 210. Make sure the rad cap is in good shape and is holding the pressure that is stamped on the top. For every pound of pressure that the cap is actually holding the boiling point of the fluid inside goes up 3 degrees. So if fluid boils at 210 degrees and with a good 15 lb. cap, the boiling point goes to 255 degrees.

I never knew the correlation between temp and pressure...interesting. Thanks.
