[QUOTE="agrimax, post: 9241779, member: 155"] Yes,put a new one in. It restricts the flow to give the water going through the radiator time to be cooled by the fan. If there's no restriction,the hot water from the block doesn't get cooled in the radiator enough before going back into the block which in turn gets hotter and hotter and can lead to overheating. Think there were three temperature recommendations for the thermostat.I'd stick with 82 degress. Also,an engine is more efficient and will suffer less wear at a controlled operating temperature. Going by the hot DB thread earlier,there's plenty on here say take it out and leave it out...It's there for a reason. [/QUOTE]
