Yes but apparently it doesn't fully open until 10 or so degrees past its rated temperature, so if I get one that is fully open at 190 that will be better than one that is fully open at 210?
Also I swapped to the coolant readout on my Equinox because I suspect the temperature gauge is worthless and that car fluctuates from 188 coasting downhill at 50 to 208 climbing the highway at 80, so even a modern car with all of its fancy computers seems to have temperature fluctuations.
I guess my plan is just to send it for now, but keep a close eye on both temperature gauges and shut it off if it starts to suddenly get much hotter than normal.
And hey, if I make a thread here to bitch about changing a water pump on the side of the road in october, you guys can tell me that you told me so.
