Over the past month after driving on the highway as soon as I come to a stop the temp gauge goes from the 210 mark it had ben at the whole time up 2-3 lines above that. It never goes above that and stays there. The gauge will go down a line or so once I start driving again, and back down to 210 if drving on the freeway again.
So what gives? Is temp of 212/218 my truck's new norm? Obviously it doesn't get near to over heating but still isn't "normal" like before.
I replaced the water pump a couple of weeks after the gauge started doing this, but that was because it was causing the wobbling rattle.
Could it be a thermostat problem? Is the fan clutch be going? It does spin/work, but could it be not working correctly or beginning to fail?
Any ideas?
