DO you have an aftermarket thermostat?

Are you sure that the engine is running hotter then what the gauge shows?

That's a good thing!

Mine is always at that range, even in traffic on 100 degree high humidity days!

Maybe its correct? Your thermostat could be sticking open, etc.

99+ ls1 fbodies have a dummy temp gauge. It will only have 3 positions, 1 for cold, 2 for operating temp, and last when its overheating. What year is your cAR?
