Default ***update***

So i changed the thermostat just let it adle for awhile till it was at operating temps let the thermostate open and close few times. Didnt get a chance to jack the front up yet. But today on the way to work it sat about 199-201 all the way there. On the way home its mid to upper 80's right now it ran at 205 up to 207 occasionaly.

This normal temp? Should i look into flushing the system completly.

Temps are right where they should be, if the coolant looks clean leave it be. You can test the electrolyte build up with a dvom. Place one lead into the coolant degas bottle (touching only the coolant) and other lead to the battery + if it reads more than 1v dc flush it out. If the specific gravity is in range and the other test looks good leave it. You can get a specific gravity tester in every parts store on the planet as well as a dvom.
