Well would that be great to install a mislabeled t-stat. The radiator is non restricted. I flushed it both ways for at least 5 min each way. The only thing i can think of is an inefficient radiator, but the lower radiator hose is barely warm once the coolant flows through the radiator. Only other thing would be a worn impeller on the WP. Dunno. That for the feedback guys.

I’m in Texas and through this great forum I am positive that I have the system completely bled. I used 2.75 gallons of coolant and raised the tank over the T. I was also parked on an incline. The first time I turned it over to idle the air was hot. Thanks to all who helped on this.

I watched the temps again today. On the freeway it was 186-189* and around town it was 208-210 sitting still and 204 driving down the road. I have a kalahari grill that I’ve been meaning to get painted and put on and I’m curious if there will be a noticeable difference.
