Sitting in traffic, 210 is normal. A 180 t-stat will regulate at 195, a 195 will regulate at 210. Those are what it will typically regulate at while cruising. Mine at 222° after sitting 10 minutes w a/c going in 125° outside temp. Cruises at 176, stop n go at 196. This was after a 50 mile drive and then letting engine idle in parking lot. Heat soak krept up and peaked at 222° then slowly started going back down.

Here's 196° on guage and 174° on gauge. Too many people get a digital or analog guage and see numbers that don't match their t-stat or what someone on a forum or magazine said their car should run at. These are absolutely all normal temps as engineered by Mopar.

Big blocks like to run 210, that is right in their wheelhouse. I run my 6bbl on a 195 thermo, as it came from the factory. Always stays between 195-210
