210 is not considered a problem and all new engines usually run around that temp. My 5.3l GM truck's recommended sweetspot is 210 and it runs at it all day regardless of outside temp. MY XKR runs around 207 normally which I consider a non issue.

Are you serious? If so, that would explain it I suppose.

Yes, I'm serious. And stop calling me Shirley.

The HUD has three digits, but the first digit is just a "1". It's either on or off. If you're driving 75 it's off. If you're driving 105 it's on.

If you have it set to show coolant temp and the temp is 75, it's off. If the temp is 175 it's on. If the temp is 205 it's off. The display will just read "05".

Thanks! I re-installed it and yup, over 200 and I just get the last two digits. Which is fine, so I am keeping it. The highest I have seen it run was 204 so far.
