What your car was running is exactly what mine gets to now, I wanted to keep it at 185ish all the time. Ya know maybe ill try a 160 stat in there and see what happens.. doesnt seem like this fan is going anywheres quickly!!! lol...Thanks man for you chimming in and helping me. I think I might see if I can get someone to run to the store for a new stat since Im a walking phenmonia germ, but starting to feel much better!!!! Thanks
