Do V6s run cooler than V8s? December 21, 2014, 06:10:41 PM I swear, the temp gauge in my 85 was about right in the middle once warmed up, but on this 86, it is barely on the N. Quote Selected
Do V6s run cooler than V8s? Reply #1 – December 22, 2014, 04:23:09 PM I wouldnt trust our 25+ year old electronic gauges to read the same from car to car....way to many variables. Everything being equal. I would suspect the 3.8 with aluminum heads and the less power the engine creates toto produce less heat.Travis Quote Selected
