I've had my 2016 for a month now and I've wondered about the coolant temp from day one. Not long after a cold start, the coolant temp jumps up half way immediately, then rises to what looks like about 180-190 and stays there. Obviously not overheating by any stretch, but I'm used to it being a much more gradual rise, and then stopping right at the top just shy of 210 with my other vehicles. I have a 2016 Yukon Denali and the temp gauge reacts as you'd expect; starts off cold, slowly rises as the engine warms up, and then settles at 210. My previous Silverado w/ the 6.2 was the same, as is my 2008 Tahoe with the 5.3. Is this what other 2016 owners are seeing? I know for a fact that a cold engine with cold coolant isn't heating up to over 160 degrees within two minutes of idling.
