Lately I've been noticing that my temp gauge is about at 1/3 and my gas mileage has been lower than normal- like 11-13 mpgs. Granted I do have a SAS/SOA, but still...... The temp gauge is really my concern.
Today I hooked up my ScanGauge that normally resides in my Mariner. My Mariner's water temp will reach 190-210 or so depending on driving conditions. My Explorer today didn't get above 182, spent most of the time in the upper 170s.
My thermostat was replaced with a 190 degree several years ago- but only like 20,000 miles ago.
Where is your temp gauge? I seem to remember mine being at 1/2 after I replaced the thermostat. Anyone with a ScanGauge, what temps are you seeing?
