I have a 2004 TB 4X4 I6 and am running about 225 all the time. I've replaced the thermostat, fan clutch, water pump and flushed the radiator. Could I need to have the computer reset? How can I reset it myself, any help here is much appreciated, thanks!!

The TB gauge usually reads 215, thats normal. Do you have an after market gauge in it? The factory ones are crap. :cool:

It's factory, but hooked it up to a code reader and it read between 223 and 225 while just idling.

Thats not really that hot for an engine that runs 215 normal. mine gets a little bit warmer sitting still too. Once I get moving it cools down to 215.......at least thats what the gauge reads. If you have done all the stuff you said then its possible you have a bad fan clutch. Its more typical for the fan clutch to lock up and spin too hard, but I suppose it could also have gotten lazy and isn't working properly anymore.:cool:
