I had my battery and alternator tested today and they all check out very well. So I guess it's my starter which is 4 days old or a bad ground there..... I did buy a Robert Shaw Gen. 2 180 degree thermostat I will try out. I'm going to drain some coolant and add water to make a 75/25 mix or so, maybe that will lower the temp a bit. I did see some stuff at Discount Auto that claims it reduces water temp by 40 degrees....even if it's only 10 or so, is it worth it?
