thermostat question
i got up on a cold morning, started my 84 6.9. ran it for a few minutes, noticed the gauge went up to 180°. i shut it off and checked the top hose and the top of the radiator. they were cold. the heater hoses were hot.is this a thermostat issue?

thermostat question
ok, the stat is rated 192°. i get that. it just seemed weird that it reached 180 as quickly as it did. and it was a very chilly 30° morning. it usually needed around 10 mins to get up there. always seemed to take a while to pop.
i basically have reservations about the 190 stat. the po had a 180 in it ,and it worked just fine.
i replaced the h2o pump and the fan clutch last year.
