Great tips and info!!
I am begining to think it is more an issue of being maxed on weight, 90 degree temps outside, and I feel like the computer may still be adjusting?
I took it for about 20 miles twice today, lots of up and down, and only went over 200 when working harder to climb hills. Never went over 205 today though.
I am definitely planning to just flat out replace the thermostat, it costs all of $10 plus coolant. Haha
I will have to see about the IR gun method, there doesnt appear to be any mineral deposits when I look in the cap or top outlet but there could be further down..
The clutch fan does spin by hand with minimal resistance, and I know it turns well rven at idle so I doubt the fan is the issue, but Im sure some wd40 and cleaning wouldnt hurt! I will update when I get a chance to do some work and get some test drives in. :)
Thanks again!
