217 while in town or out on a freeway or highway??
217 in town is perfectly normal.
If that is highway temps, then you may have an issue. With air flowing across the radiator at 45mph+, you should see it drop so low that the thermostat closes.
Mine goes down to 176° before it stops.....

Remove the radiator and clean the front of it. It will have a ton of crap on the front of it. Your temps aren't far out of normal, but at 37 degrees ambient it should run cooler. It's really that cold in San Bernadino?

With sucha a low ambient temp, it should run more like 190, give or take a little. I MIGHT get up that high at a long red light, but not running down the road.
