Question type: General

Wondering what's the operating temperature for a
96 Chevy Express 1500 van with the 5.7L.
It's running about 145 degrees. About 150 to 155
during the day. Sounds pretty low. But I don't know.

Normal operating temperature is 195 degrees Fahrenheit. Sounds like your thermostat is stuck open. On the dash gauge that would be one or two lines to the left of the 210 mark. Hope that helps! Jim
