Can't figure out what is going on, my temps were running high as I had bad coolant, got flushed, re-set the fans to 190 (low) and 200 (med\high) and the car when driven for the first 10 minutes, goes up to about 215f (never above when driving after really), then drops down to 199-203, it will go up to up to 208 when I am in traffic, and at times will drop to 195 when I am on the highway just cruising...would it at all be possible my JET is no longer in there? I didn't think they had to remove the T-Stat to change\flush coolant, and even if they did, why the hell would they replace it? My HIGH fan seems to ALWAYS be on, it is hot in Georgia, but I'm just paranoid that this isn't normal.

If they did it should be noted on the invoice, everything done should be on the invoice.

First off you dont remove the thermostat to do a coolant flush.
Second everything your describing is normal. Its hot plain and simple its August, check back in October bet it will be just right.
Its gonna go down naturally when driving on the highway cause your getting good fresh air flowing over the radiator. When sitting still its normal for the temp to rise.

Ok, this eases my mind a bit, I know it's hot, I just wasn't 100% sure it is normal for it to go up to 215f upon first driving the car (10 minutes in, with a 180-185 JET) and if it's normal in the summer for the HIGH fan to always be on, knowing that it is normal helps. And no it's not on the in-voice, I just know STOCK opens @ 203...so with my fan settings, if they had swapped it out I would be over-driving them as the t-stat wouldn't be letting coolant flow full @ 180-185f, so basically I was worried I was over-driving my fans due to this.
