Hey Curly, I am happy to be back! I a still fighting my email program. I have used Mozilla Thunderbird for quite a while and it frustrates me more every day! So now I am using my XFinity email (which I hate) because it works. But it is not flexible at all. Anyway, thanks for the kind words. I replaced all the cooling system parts - the T Stat is new as is the radiator and pump. It almost never budges above the 100C mark - which is what I think the mark above 80C is - and it's not using any coolant, But it bugs me that it used to run at 80C all the time (or a hair above it) and it no longer does. Maybe the gauge is off a little? I'll have to check prices of IR T-Stats.

But if Larry has a IR thermometer, he can take temps at all areas of the radiator just after stopping fmor a highway run, with the engine running. That will tell a lot. You also use the IR thermometer to verify the sender/gauge is reading correctly. Good to hear from you again Larry!
