the weird thing is that i put in a cooler t-stat and it didn't make any difference at all. I can tell exactly where it opens and closes and it sure isn't 180. It will idle and run at city speeds great all day long with no issues, but as soon as i hit a highway it heats right up. kind of backwards in my mind. i will try the tricks mentioned above-those were great thoughts. Any other opinions/. How much better does an aluminum radiator work than a stock 3 core does?
