Did a complete coolant flush over a month ago. Still trying to chase a gremlin??? in my gauge as it reads a bit warm.

Put a infrared thermometer all around the system and this is what I came up with.

Thermostat housing 169
Hose Inlet to Radiator 167
Bottom Radiator Driver Side 163
Top Radiator Cap 135
Bottom Out to Water Pump 131

Using 4 core brass/copper, Super Stant 160 Thermostat, Stock Water Pump with cast impeller, Hoses, ect.. Prestone Green with Napa Kool additive.

Not bad for a farm guy. Guess I need to pull that teflon tape off the Sending Unit in the head.
