Not Ranked
I am running the bypass hose, and I have 4 small 1/8" holes drilled in my t-stat. After sorting out that my early heating problems were due to not enough fan and shroud, I am now enjoying a very cool running and predictable FE. Down the road when its 70*F outside like today, temp gauge is at 80*C. When I stop, the temp crawls up to 85*C, but no more. Back when it was 90*F outside, it would run 85*C down the road and maybe 90*C at idle, but no more. If I were to install the same t-stat without the holes I could probably see the opening/closing on the gauge.
