[QUOTE="EddieS'04, post: 979779, member: 61136"] Gavin, I have to disagree. Recently this past summer. My temps were reaching 217 on the highway. It was my t-stat, only opening partialy. I tested it against a new one in boiling water. The new one opened completely as marked, 192. I also bought and tested 180 that is the one I used. The old one(marked 192) was bairly cracked open at 212 degrees. Maybe 1/8". I was using a new digital pocket stick thermomter. I also tested it against my old anolog thermometer. Of course I didnt need to. Water boils at 212 here. I have had this to happen twice in the past. On other cars. I have got in the habit of testing new t-stats before install. Ever since I got a bad new one, years ago. It is a comfort zone for me. To know the exact temp the new one is wide open.... [/QUOTE]
