I use the Robertshaw also in my 2k 4.7 and have noticed since day one, it
takes along time for the needle to register, and when it does it looks like
160-170 degrees, I use a Stant 180 Superstat in my 02 Quad cabb 4x4 it
registers alot faster and right at the 180 mark, I am going to change the
Robertshaw out real soon for the Stant.
