Somethings not right!
Last October I installed a new 180 F thermostat and it worked great. My cooling water ran about 75 C (167 F). I just went for a ride and noticed the water temp never got over about 50 F (122 F). When I got home I let it idle until the cooling water got up to about 93 C (200 F) when the fans kicked on. Of course I don't want to drive around with "cold" cooling water, so I'm wondering if there is anything else that could cause this besides a stuck open thermostat. I find it hard to believe the Thermostat has failed already.
