Currently after I had a coolent "flush" from my FMC I look at my SGII and my coolent tempature usually stays around 182 to touching 190. Does that sound "normal" or should I look into doing a proper "flush" and install a new thermostat. My deltas are usually over the 15* runs around 20* delta. I'm going to install a coolent filter soon.

If your coolant is staying at 182 you need a thermostat. It should be 188-193 minimum.

Well it sounds like the thermostat is a little weak should be at 190 or above and the spread is a little high also . Doing a proper coolant flush might help or might make it worse. Coolant filter will start cleaning things up.

Thanks, I figured after awhile that something was slightly off. Hopefully by the end of the month I'll have a coolent filter put on with new thermostat. Probably in December I'll be able to get a proper coolent flush done.
