Message: [QUOTE="Turbosuzuki, post: 1419523, member: 5973"] I had heard of the oem one leaking and rusting. I didn't want to try to risk it then have a leak and have to order one. I just went ahead and got it and thankfully I did because in the span of 2 days I had it off the truck 4 times lol. I drove about 20 miles today in traffic and interstate no leaks temp Guage reads normal but I have been checking the surface Temps and getting which I feel are low reading. I know it's silly but I don't have a aftermarket coolant temp Guage so I check Temps with a Lazer I know it's just surface but the hottest point I get 155 from the oil pan. I did this to see if it was hot enough for the thermostat to open, maybe I don't understand fully how they work. I figured my temp Guage says normal I figured the radiator hoses would be around 190 degrees or better. Is this correct or am I way off? The hose today when I got home was 160 degrees. I didn't have the ac on I guess these trucks run cooler than I thought. Now I know what I'm doing is silly but I just wanted to make sure the thermostat was opening but if it's a 180 degree that's means I need coolant Temps over 180 to open it correct? [/QUOTE]
