So along those lines.
I replaced WP, low temp thermo, Flushed coolant and replace with Pink.
Last weekend I finally got to drive for several hours.
Using the Torque app:
I was seeing temps 10- 20 degrees cooler (Outside temps were in low 40's)
On the Hwy (1/2 hour at 75-80 mph) I use to see rock steady 193 degrees
I was now seeing rock solid 174 degrees
The gauge was always above the 180 mark, now it was running a bit under the 180 mark
Driving stop and go, low speeds, lots of shifting, higher RPMs - mid 180s
At stops, it would creep into low 190s. As soon as I started again back to mid 180s
It will be interesting to see how the temps behave when it 90s outside
