That is normal. Your stock tstat is rated at 205*, so it will always vary within a few degrees of 205* while cruising.

Thanks. Probably gonna do a 180 stat soon.

Interesting. It does seem easier to loosen then it should be especially when not hot and under pressure. Where did you pick that up at?

PepBoys I got mine from. No leaks sofar even under hard acceleration.
