Water boils at 212* at standard pressure. 1 atm.. Your cooling system runs 12 to 15 psi so the boiling point of water increases. As you increase the pressure of the system you also increase the boiling point. Thats why pressurize water reactors work. 2200psi plus or minus and 685* on the hot leg. Still it doesn't boil.
I wasn't aware of the need to run in the 190-210* range. I know our Yukon (GM products) all run in that range. I'll change my thermostat and see if that helps the performance any.
Thanks,
Tim
