Default Max Coolant Temp?

I have installed AeroForce gauges in my 2door. I am seeing highway temps in the 230's (75 MPH +/-) in Phoenix AZ (Temps in the 100+ range)

I do have a Winch that sits pretty high and the Intercooler for my RIPP that sits in front of the condenser/radiator.

what temps you all of you seeing.

With my '08, on the highway, I see the engine coolant temp hovering around 190°F to 195°F.
Parked and idling, the temp climbs to 215°F, the fan comes on, and the temp falls to around 195°F. The cycle repeats until I start moving again.

Not uncommon in Arizona. I would suggest putting a transmission cooler on if you have an automatic.
