Reading some threads over at CF, one member was able to reduce his temps by messing w/the crossover tube between the heads in the front of the engine. Apparently that is a place air pockets and get trapped.
Here is the post from CF about it
GMpartshouse has the sensor for ~$21. I'm not sure if the temps can vary that much from where the sensor sits to either of the coolant hoses.
The cooling fans are controlled by the PCM. From the factory, low speed is set for 226F and high speed is set for 236F. The temp on the DIC is what the PCM thinks the temp really is. I don't remember, will it overheat, meaning the fans can't keep the temps below 236F, at idle w/everything off, or just when the A/C is running?
Also, what oil temps are you seeing on the DIC?
