Well, so much for that theory... left work and got stopped in construction on the way home (lane rural highway, 60mph to a dead stop for 3 mins). Never moved the needle. Headed to town (70mph rural 4 lane), no problem, even at stop lights. Got into town traffic and there it goes again. Never got much over 110C, but still don't like it.

Two things... it takes at least a 30 minute drive to get it to this point in 95F ambient temps. Also, it seems if it ever gets over the 100C mark, it just never can get caught back up.

Busy this weekend, but when I get some time I'm going to drill some holes in the cap of one of these thermostats and see if it makes a difference. I could live with having a summer and winter thermostat, if needed.

As for full opening temp, all the other vehicles I have ever owned never varied more than a few degrees no matter the ambient. Tells me start to full open temp is probably a range of 5-7C.
