Should the lower radiator hose be hot after driving and pulling a load?

Well, don't I feel like a horses rear end... are they interchangeable with the 195* t-stats? Or are those the short shank or whatever that wont work with the bypass system?

No, you were fine. I did say it kind of bluntly....

As for interchanging, they won't unless the water pump is changed.

The probe for my Auto meter gauge is pre thermostat (below it)
