Default Temperature

Driving my 15 Z51 home for 200 miles in rain, snow and slush my oil and water temp never got over 150 degrees. The outside temp was 33 most of the way and never over 35. Normally it is about 185-190 for both.
Most owners I've talked to have told me their's normally run 200 or more. I'm thinking possibly a stuck open thermostat? Maybe just forget it and consider it normal.

Yes, sound like a stuck open thermostat from the symptoms.

I cant recall what my coolant temp was during 30deg temps but with the current 70-80deg temps its running about 190. I'll check my logs when I get home if I can remember.
