I'll get up under there & check to see if everything is for sure cleared out; I think I'll just install a 160 thermostat, as I got a feeling it's not opening all the way as is.

i'm thinking this has got to be the culprit.

Is the thermo pretty easy to swap out in these?

Hi. The gauge stayed around 205 here in Vegas today when I was driving stop and go traffic.

So is there anything special I should know before changing out the thermostat?

Is there a gasket?
