Finally! It was running so warm in the summer it was undrivable, the computer would start shutting down cylinders. I replaced the stock radiator with a fluidyne 4 core, new hoses and 180 thermostat. It still ran warm...too warm, however I had the system vacuumed - and there was an air bubble that caused a cooling problem.
Also found the stock gauge is way off...when listed on the 'L' the temperature is actually 189' - as determined by a calibrated Snap-on gauge. The guy at the shop said once these get too hot the sending unit is toast...and needs to be replaced. Sure enough...it was. Now it runs at mid gauge...
