What is normal operating temperature?
Does anyone know what the normal operating temperature is for a 2000 C5?? I changed the thermostat but it seems to run a bit hot in traffic....Thanks.

Some where between 190 and 210 and you're probably fine.

You can do this either by a Handheld tuner or having a Shop do the adjustments - it is worth it
