The thermostat temperature on a 2008 Dodge Ram 1500 is 180 degrees Fahrenheit. The thermostat is responsible for keeping the engine at a stable operating temperature and allowing it to warm up quickly after starting. Once the engine reaches operating temperature, the thermostat opens to allow coolant to flow to the radiator for cooling and then closes again to allow fresh coolant to warm up.

What is the highest engine temp on a 5.7 Hemi that doesn’t hurt the engine?
From what info I’ve been able to find on this in the past, the 5.7 is designed to run at 215 (approx). Thermostat opens at 203, Low Fan cut in @209, High Fan cut in @219.
What temperature should a 5.7 Hemi thermostat be?
There are several threads that cover this, these temps are well documented on the 5th gen Hemis. Your truck should be operating most commonly around 215 – 225 or so, but under certain situations like stop and go, it will hit 230F in normal operation.
What temperature should my truck thermostat be?
Most thermostats in most modern vehicles are designed to begin to open at 195 deg (F) …which typically results in a normal operating coolant temperature of about 210 deg (F).
What temperature should a Dodge ram run at?
Typically coolant is over 205, trans is about 20 degrees cooler, and oil is about 20 hotter. Oil pressure on the highway is 51 or 52.
Should I use a 160 or 180 degree thermostat?
A 180-degree thermostat is better for engine efficiency—aka better fuel mileage and decreased emissions. A 160-degree thermostat is designed to maintain a lower engine operating temperature, which tends to make a little bit more horsepower and torque.
How do I know if my Dodge Ram 1500 thermostat is bad?
- Overheating And Overcooling. Overheating is the most common symptom of a failing thermostat.
- Coolant Leaking. If you have experienced problems with overheating or notice liquid dripping under your car, it is a sure sign of a coolant leak.

- Heater Problems.
Why is my 2008 Dodge Ram overheating?
The most common reasons a Dodge Ram 1500 is overheating are a coolant leak (water pump, radiator, hose etc.), the radiator fan, or a failed thermostat.
What RAM temp is too high?
Ddr4 is rated for up to 1.5 volts 24/7 and temperatures of 81c before damage can occur. However temperatures above 40 degrees cause stability issues and random errors. And temps above 50 degrees Celsius can cause system crashes and huge errors on otherwise stable ram overclocks.
What is the temperature of the thermostat on a 2001 Dodge Ram 1500?
195° F
Notes: 195° F, Engine Coolant Thermostat Housing Assembly.
What is the normal operating temperature for a Dodge Ram 1500?
The engine is regulated to 180-195 degrees F by a thermostat in the cooling system. If the gauge (you have one?) is reading low, you will have poor heat and low MPG. Thermostat is possibly stuck open.
