There is a cheap IR thermometer at HF that is not much more than an inch
long. It is in a lanyard like a pendant. I have compared its results
to the full size HF and to calibrated IR thermometers. It is close
enough. _+ 1ยบ

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.
Thx agn

Stuck or not opening all the way thermostat would be my guess.
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! Don't be scarce!

Whoops, I see that now.
Bad thermostat? Block it open and you'd know...
