I recently change out all my coolant system....3-row radiator, hoses, water pump, thermostat, and still have the stock clutch fan. Ever since then, my lower hose and lower portion of radiator is always luke warm after a good 30 min. drive. The upper hose and upper portion of the radiator will be nice and hot. Off my autometer gauge, I never get over 195-200 deg, but my stock gauge will be on Hot by then.
I think the stock gauge is just crap, but why doesn't the lower hose or radiator heat up like the rest of it does? Just seems wierd to me. Also, the thermostat I used didn't have a hole in it, jsut a tiny ball/pin assembly that opens and closes, could this be the problem?
Just asking because I have to take a long trip here soon, and I'm wondering if I need to fix anything. Thanks!
