Last time I went out wheeling I ended up overheating really badly, which was a surprise as wheeling last summer in 95+ temps with the AC on was no problem. Turns out my Tstat was stuck closed.
Went to autozone and got a 180 degree stat, and while I was there I picked up some of the redline stuff. Popped open the Tstat housing (coolant was low from boiling over) replaced the Tstat and put in teh redline stuff and topped off the system with distilled H20.
Im runnig dual electric fans with a GDI 3core. Usually the temp gauge climbs between 210 and red before the fans kick on and the temp drops below 210. Idling it usually hovers a little past 210, a little warmer than sock.
After the new Tstat and the water wetter, the temp hovers below 210, and if the fans kick on from the AC, it drops probably another 10-15 degrees. It worries me that im running in open mode at that temp, but it was barley 80 degrees and not terribly humid either. The immediate temp change is definitely due to the new Tstat, but its also definitely running a little cooler (I think) because of the redline stuff. Just thought you might want to know with summer coming up :viking:
