Sender is in the same location as the stock unit. Hence only being able to run the aftermarket and not the OEM.

Nice. I am starting to doubt the gauges accuracy. It runs upwards of 230F according to the gauge. I turn the A/C off and roll down the windows then it drops to 210F or so. I need to monitor the brain to see what the temp really is. I will prolly also flush the radiator. I am already running Water Wetter.

I did not have the airdam on the underside of the radiator/engine on. I think that it helps to route air to the radiator more effectively. I put it back on, flushed the radiator, and fixed my T-Stat install (it seems I had the gasket on the wrong side of the thermostat, which didn't allow the t-stat to seat properly in the housing) and now she seems cooler. The OBDII scanner confirmed the tems displayed by the gauge. I have a tighter than stock mesh on the front facia that I will remove tonight as well.

Wow! You do know that the addition of a simple air dam to a car can increase cooling efficiency around 20% or more on some cars. If GM actually spends the money on an air dam and claims 20-40% increases in cooling efficiency then you know it must be necessary.

Usualy air dams are more for gas mileage, at least in most Gm cases. They can actualy give 1-2 mpg
