RE: [Chrysler300] temp sender issue

["Bob Jasinski" <rpjasin@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Pete,
 
That's pretty much what my car is doing.  It has been this way since I had the radiator re-cored several years back with a thicker core.  The only time mine will get close to the upper  limit is on a very hot day stopped in traffic.  Once underway, it drops fast.  I'm reading 195 degrees at the casting where the sender is mounted, and with a 190 thermostat, it seems to me that everything is working as it should.

Bob:

For what it may be worth, my G has never run even in the middle of the 
range on the gauge. Its usual running range is just above the left hand 
mark. When it does get hot, in high temperature traffic jams, etc. and pegs 
the right hand limit, it drops instantly if I can drive it a hundred yards 
at maybe 35 mph. I have always figured that is simply the way it was 
supposed to run - never gave it a thought.

I am trying to determine if my temp sending unit in my 300G is faulty. My
engine seems to run too cold, and I've checked the calibration on the temp
gauge (swapped it out with 2 other spares and they read the same). So, I
bought an infrared temp gun to help diagnose the problem. I am currently
running a 190 degree thermostat, and the temp at the sender is about 195
once the car is warmed up. This puts my gauge at the very low end of the
"normal brackets". It does not go into the mid range unless it is a very
hot day and the car is being driven slow. I know the easiest thing to do is
just to swap out the sender with a new one, but I'm curious if anyone knows
what the engine temp is supposed to be at both the low and high side of the
normal range.
