tb42 water temp HELP

[6turbomitch]

hey what does the temp sit at when driving aroung normall on the gauge in the dash and if any 1 has after market temp gauge what does that sit at

[lolergram]

no more than 1/2 with thermos.

Usually with clutch fan I found it sits about 1/3, on hot days just under 1/2.

On the highway on a cool day most vehicles should sit around the thermostat temp, this depends on vehicle weight and cooling system efficiency and alike. Normal can be from 86 to 105 degrees depeding on a multitude of things, the main thing is that the cooling system stay in control and remain pressurized without boiling. Nissan gauges do vary, my Patrols, of which I have had 3 sit between 1/3 and 1/2 but can go up to 2/3 if working really hard in hot weather.
