OK.... today, drove along with great heat at 45. Down shifted into third and maintained speed at increased RPM's (tach is intermittent as well, so wasn't able to get #'s) and heat disappeared. This was with monovalve plugged in.
Drive home, monovalve unplugged, same exact experience. Heat at 45 in fourth, dropped to third and the heat went away.

Undoubtedly RPM related.

Was too cold today to jump out and start grabbing hoses to see what was hot at different times in the sequence, maybe tomorrow when the temperature isn't single digits....

Wondering if there might still be an air pocket in the cooling system....
I just changed the thermostat and radiator over the last two weeks, so the system has been open a couple times.
