I was driving around in my reg. cab 4.7L/5-spd dakota today and I noticed
that the temperature would be on about 190-195, and if I stopped for any
length of time and idled, it would run up to about 200-205.Is this ok? is it
normal? where do yall's 318's run? my buddy said his 318 dak would get over
240 and would sit in the red zone if he was working in a field during the
summer.I've never owned or driven a truck that ran over 175-180 at
anytime.My old 4wd with a.030 over 350 chevy would run all day long at
160.Also, anybody have any thoughts on lowering 2" with
blocks?good/bad/horible? tell me what you think! Will
