Probably an easy question, I'm thinking thermostat...
My 01 runs a little too warm in summer, 230 degrees on a pull and won't get over 200 degrees in winter. This makes for a chilly ride. Brrrr...
It will warm up somewhat while sitting at idle or on a long hard pull.
Everything sans heater core is new. CSF 3 Row, Dirtbound triple threat fans with controller, water pump, hoses, Thermostat...
Fans are set up as follows. one kicks on at 195 and two kick on at 205. I've got the low temp fan disconnected and have cardboard across a third of the radiator and still it runs cool.
This is the sign of an improper or malfunctioning thermostat yes?
If improper should I go to a higher temp thermostat or lower temp?
