Thread: 05' GTP Where should my temp grade read

I have recently had some overheating problems. Radiator was completely gunned so I had to flush it. Doing so cause some leaks I have fixed. I have cleaned it out, refilled, filled overflow to the line on the bottom, held a few times at operating temp with heat on. My gauge has no numbers just lines. It is getting north of the big line a little over the middle. Feels like it is too hot to me. Not in the red, but only like 3 or 4 ticks away. Anyone have a picture of where in the lines it should hover at operating temperature? I also see people say to top off overflow? Should I have the overflow filled over that line on the bottom?? Thanks is advance for any help.

Where might I get one of these apps?

Yes. I bled it a few times. I feel like I got all the air out. You bleed it with it running at temp and the heat on, correct? Also, not sure if this means anything, but when the car is off and cool my top radiator hose seems to be compressed. Is that normal? Or a clue I have something wrong?

The middle line on the 05' is about 195 a needle width above is 200 and 3 needle widths is about 212, 221 comes in just before the next line.


Edit: I use the Torque pro app and a BAFX adapter. I bought an eBay one that didn't work but it was a different one than Scotty mentioned.
