What temp of radiator fan switch? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

IIRC - the temp on a thermostat is the temp it begins opening at. Normal running temps once everything is warmed up is 10~20 hotter then opening temp. So your 185 t-stat would give an engine temp of 195~205 at the thermostat housing once things are fully warmed up.

More to consider. Thanks for the info.
