i know it has nothing to do but am just saying cuz if it goes over 221 then there is somekind of trouble...mines has gone that high in traffic but it goes down rightaway...plus we live in like desert temps...

it's really not a big deal I've seen mine up to 220 before, phoenix IS the desert it doesn't get much hotter anywhere

if it's really a concern get a radiator flush and swap out the old coolant for new

either way what I just said has nothing to do with the op

Cooling mods = S/C not hot anymore

-Bigger heat exchanger, Dual Pass, Meth

Hot S/C is normal. Unless you do some cooling mods, this will not change
