My ECT hover around the 200 mark, with 208 being my highest in standstill traffic in 96 F outside temp.
2003 4.6 Expedition, BTW

Did a quick 20 min run just now, and here's the graph. Threw in Intake Temp for the fun of it. Message cluster showed between 93 and 95 for outside temp(don't know how accurate that is.) Don't have means of measuring tranny temp right now, but hopefully will get that soon.

Is my thermostat sticking?

From a cold start, my ECT will run from abient temp and increase. It will go to 200 then pop down to 192 and hold steady there.

Is this normal or is my theromstat sticking and finally breaking open at 200 then averages 192 even on hot days.
