Here's the rest of that....where he said the temp doesn't go above or below this point.

"but this is after about a 30 mile drive at hwy speeds. The temp doesnt really go above or below this even idling for 10-15 mins."

Here is the definition of fluctuate:


fluc·tu·ate
ˈfləkCHəˌwāt/
verb
rise and fall irregularly in number or amount.

Bad info, but no big deal. It is what it is, you were trying to help, it's all good Bud.

Back to the OP, thanks for following up with us on the solution. Glad to hear all it needed was a thermostat and you're back in business.

LOL, no worries. I'm sure the past two weeks of being on muscle relaxers (pinched sciatic nerve) played a role in my incoherence.

LOL. I've given horrible advise in the past with no excuse so you are fully excused in that case. Hope you feel better.
