LT1 temps???? so yesterday was a pretty hot day here, and my low coolant light comes on?? i imiediatly stopped and my coolant was not low at all in bottle. car was running around 210+ when going real slow in town, but if i get up to speed it cools to the right above the 160 mark. never goes into the red zone on the temp gauge, just wondering where do your lt1 cars normally run for temp? and is it normal to get that warm when idleing. this morning when the car was cold i took the radiator cap off and its completely full. and on the drive to school there was no low coolant light. just kinda curious on your cars's temps...

The intermittent low coolant light means you probably need a new low coolant sensor.

thats what i thought, i figured it couldnt be too big of a deal as the car was running strong and dropping temp good when moving over 30-35 mph, i purchased a bottle of dex-cool just in case, but never had to use it, lol. do you guys all still use DEX-COOL in your lt1's? ive heard bad things about it from some hack mechanics
