Re: Overheating 2001

Try a superstant thermostat or else get a delco one. Keep in mind if the pan of boiling water was only 190, running temp on stock thermostats is 195, so you are not quite at the opening point.

14.00 for a t-stat is pretty steep, for that price you could order a 180 degree one for ZZP. I got one for my g/f's 3100 GP from them for about 8.00 shipped. Works good and helps keep the temp down especially in stop and go traffic.
