I'm running a Toyota OEM Tstat with the overheat pellet cut. Running a regular Stant OEM replacment Cap. 50/50 Prestone coolant. new fan clutch. Pulled the radiator and had a Radiator shop rod/flush it out. I like 190 tstats for milage. cooler ones won't keep your engine from overheating. Tstats regulate the COLDEST your engine can run.
radiator cap & Thermostat
1. What temperature for the Thermostat does everyone have? I think I have 190 degrees.
2. What psi for the Radiator cap does everyone have?I think I have the one somewhere 13 psi.
Q' I ask these question because I'm having problems with temp. gauge. It gets to mid level after driving for a while and fluctuates near redline when driving for a while at 50+mph with A/C cooler on. I'm thinking these might be the problem. I'm using Toyota Red coolant if that matters.
I hope a hose doesn't swell and leak at the heater hose (behind the engine) like it did a while back. The reason for that was the thermostat, which I changed then.
