Not too worried about it because the car is not overheating.

I haven't heard of any problem with Behr T stats, their both OEM but if your temps are truly running much over 90 your right on the edge of where you should suspect something is not right. I think its better to run a diesel a little on the hot side rather than the cold side, as long as she doesn't hit the red.
