2001 Sonoma Heat Problem

[kplourde]

I am wondering if 48.5c coming from the air vents of a 2001 Sonoma is normal on a 25c day driving on the highway (100km) with the windows down.

48.5 is pretty high, Where are you checking the temp? If you left the thermometor on the dash on a hot day I could see it getting to 48C.

How does the temp of the engine look?

I thought when the thermostat goes it means that there would be less heat? I would still check it is it is easy to do, stupid question, but do you have the heat up on the controll dial?

The Thermometer is at the driver side feet vent. Temp of engine is fine says the controls.
