Haven't thought of that, tstat is brand new but I did flush after it was
installed. Since the needle sits right next to "C" I asumed it was
opening up like it should. I gues it could be partially blocked, the
stock tstat (195 degree) read higher on the guage but never went to
1/2. The 180 degree has gone to about 4/5ths on the guage. It's not
really a problem, but I'll keep a close eye on it. Anyone tried a
hi-flow thermostat? I've seen these at the parts stores they are
suposed to have a larger opening to allow for more coolant flow. I
think they also open with the direction of flow instead of against it...
