Normal engine water temperature for a D-60, 2000 lxi???
That's about what I'm getting with my '95 Series 60. It seems high to
me too. I'm going to pull the thermostat and check it ... and probably replace it with a new one rated at 180 degrees. While going west on I-70 in western Kansas (gradual grades climbing into Colorado), temps were running 200-210 and a bit higher. Had to keep one eye on the road and the other on the temp gauge. Ambient temperature was in the 80s at the time. I had overheating problems in eastern Nevada on the grades climbing out of Salt Lake City on I-80. Ambient temperatures were in the high 80s or low 90s at the time. I had to pull off repeatedly to let the engine cool down... (I got one 'overheated engine' light, but mostly it was simply high readings that caused me to pull over.) In cooler weather, I get 190-200 while running down the road. That seems more reasonable.
