At cummins2014, I hadn’t either, but I’m not a gauge watcher. I’d rather be jammin tunes, on the phone and/or sippin a couple road sodas on my long time coming well earned infrequent vacations.
But that thermostat/cooler bypass thingy as I understand it either works great or it doesn’t work at all. If I towed more or worked my personal truck harder I woulda replaced it 3 years ago when I bought the truck.
(I also didn’t realize how stupid simple it was to remove and replace. I did it along with a trans service but by itself, it’s a 0 beer job (can’t drink laying on your back with trans juice dripping all over lol), so call it a 30 minute job including refilling a few lost units of trans blood).
What I understand about the bypass is that it does nothing for cooling , just insures the fluid is flowing .
