Cooking a chuck roast in the crockpot. 3.5 lbs . Recipe says to cook for 7 hours on low. What internal temp should I aim for?

'Til it's tender & falls apart. 
(Sorry, I've never checked the temp and I do crock pot chuck roast all the time.)

So you can't really overcook it?

You CAN overcook it, but you WON'T if you quit when it's fork tender. Make sense?

I'd go with that and check it out. I use meat thermometers but not with a crock pot. No need in my experience.

Cooked one on low last week for 10 hours while I was at work. It was perfect.

A done pot roast will be in a pull apart state a la pulled pork is when it is done, so temp does not need to be assessed by you in truth.

Just put a frozen one that same size in the crock pot on low for 12 hours. After nine hours it was a little tough. Three hours later it fell apart with a fork. I never use a thermometer.
If it's not frozen, I'd plan on 10 hours. If it's good and tender before you want to eat, just turn the dial to "keep warm."
