Just swapped in a 4.0L a few months back. Have yet to really test it out. Seems to be running around 210... is that normal?

I've heard the Renix 4.0L's run hot normally. Just checking.

i believe that my 4.0 is running the same temp as did my 4.2......COOL:smokin:

i have an autometer gauge with what i believe to be an accurate temp sending unit. it runs aroiund 195 i think, can't remember for sure but it don't overheat EVER. 110* at an idle crawlin:flipoff2:

110* seems to cool, wouldnt you want it to run a bit warmer then 110* for optimal performance
