Where is everyone elses temperature running on the guage?
I replaced the thermostat this past summer and put in a 195 thermostat. The old one was clearly stuck open. The car ran much better and the temp guage needle ran a third of the way up the guage.
Now the weather has gotten colder the temp guage doesnt even get to 1/4 of the way and the engine doesnt run just right.
Is it possible that I got a bad thermostat.
The locking torque convertor also takes much longer to engage , do you think this is related to low engine temperature.
Thanx in advance

 

I'd say put another one in and see if it is still running cool, but I don;t know about the tranny part...bump it to the top, maybe someone will see it this time around.

 

I have a 180 thermo in and it takes a little while to warm up but I get heat in about 10 minutes. does not go past the first mark.

 

I guess I better change the thermostat. I've never seen one go bad this soon. I,ll switch brands this time.
