High Operating Temperature

Asked by dmshellid Aug 04, 2020 at 11:55 AM about the 2004 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe RWD

Question type: General

My 2004 5.7 L. automatic always runs at 220 or higher.   It sounds like this is
normal/ok but seems too hot to me.  What would happen with a cooler
thermostat installed?  Thanks.

So is always running at 220 - 230 something that I should fix (if it can be) and do you recommend anything other than a cooler thermostat?

Granted it's 16 years old but in very good condition, only 41k miles and no visible coolant leaks. The hoses, radiator and cap all look fine, but I'll look into the cooling system (and water pump in particular). Thanks for the information.
