I thought I already posted this, but I can't find it now. Maybe I had a battery crash before it got posted.

I have been having trouble with code P20EE until dealer (After three trips) finally got FCA to authorize a Cat replacement. Before, it would reliably throw the code at highway speeds, usually within a couple hundred miles. Since the cat change I have driven two 700 mile trips with no code. Hope it is fixed.
But now I notice cyclic variations in the coolant temperature. To be fair, they may have been there before, but I don't think so. Also, I haven't done much driving at cold temperatures until this trip. What I am observing is the coolant temperature cycles between 190 and 197, usually 1 or 2 degrees at a time - 190, 192, 195, 197, 194, 192, 190, with more dwell at 190 than any of the other temperatures. The numbers are not always the same, but the min is always 190 and the max is either 195 or 197.
My best guess was this is normal low temperature operation with the thermostat cycling trying to maintain 190 degrees. If the temp goes too low, the thermostat closes and when the temperature gets to 195 or 197 it opens.
Is this normal or do I have something going on? Oil temperature and transmission temperature are rock solid.
Thanks,
Al
