My thinking was, if the coolant cap can't hold it's rated pressure, temp may go up.I just put a Rock Auto T-stat in mine. 180. It runs exactly the same on the dash gauge as before....210.
I see 194-201 warmed up, I *thought* my temps were more stable around 194 before I installed all new cooling system..
(melling water pump, OEM t-stat, Denso radiator, cheap coolant tank/cap)
Usually when it does hit 199-201 it will drop back to 194 shortly. (all cool weather testing so far) Part of me thinks the new factory t-stat is lazy.
