yes I am definately concerned with the engine temp, my father says its normal but I still just dont like it, would rather it run say 180-190 most of the time for assurance. can I check myself for a clogged radiator?

as far as the trans problem, maybe it was overfull and puked some? ive been driving it around and it seems just fine. but im definately adding a cooler, this is my first truck without one, i seemed to remember i had to have one on my blazer in high school cus of the stall converter and being 3" off the ground in the texas heat. it did make my trannies last alot longer back then, so im puttin one. would like a factory guage tho. what are my options on gauges from the factory besides trying to use a factory water temp gauge? did the c60 trucks have trans temp guages by any chance i could put where my clock is now?
