Question What is the "Normal" operating temperature?

I installed an autometer temp. gauge today. My factory gauge hasn't worked since I've had the truck.
I also replaced the Thermostat with a 195 degree unit.

When I went for a test drive to check if the gauge was working, it went up to about 210 at it's highest and stayed a little lower after that.

At what point is boil-over? At what temp should I be concerned that things are getting too hot?

What temp. do you run at on "normal" days?
