I have a question for the V6ers out there. What thermostat is everyone using, and what part of the US are you in? The reason I ask is because im in the south and am running a 190 degree thermostat, which is what the manual calls for, but seems high to me for a warm climate. Also, what temps does everyones gauge show? Mine always shows over 200, except when the thermostat opens, it will drop to under 200 for awhile. Im guessing its because the thermostat is in the bottom of the engine aand stagnant water will be hotter at the top? Will running a lower thermotat, like around 180 hurt anything? The problem im having is I have a T with a temp switch for my electric fans but its in the upper radiator hose. I think I have about the right temp variation for it to turn off and off in conjuction with a 190 degree thermostat, if it was 190 at the top. I shot the thermostat housing and water neck up top with a laser thermometer and there was about a 30 degree difference.
