Is there any problems with one running a little cooler than normal, say 165-170? I just installed an autometer temp gauge and was wondering if it was accurate...I have a fluidyne radiator and a black magic 15" e-fan.

you would probably have reduced gas mileage and increased engine wear; running lower than normal temps.
If your temp is only at 165, you probably have the wrong thermostat installed

I know it is not the wrong thermostat...the guys down here at MazMax (who really know their stuff) sold it (thermo) to me...If they gave me the wrong one then I be really suprised.
The e-fan is kicking in really early...I think I am going to adjust the settings on it and have it kick on a little later and see what happens.

silly question, operating temperate = water temperature, right?
if i want to get a temp gauge to monitor my engine's operating temp, i should be getting water temp gauge?
sorry for the silly question.
thanks

In normal cruising I see 82-86degC (178-187degF).
