Hey guys,
Looking for some help here. I put an OEM replacement Stant superstat 195 thermostat in my 5.0 and ever since then the temp gauge will *occasionally* reach normal operating temp, then divebomb down to the 2nd mark from the bottom. (which i estimate to be 165f) It will then hold steady for some time.
As the title states, I've replaced the thermostat with another exact replacement, everything is sealed up well, i bled the system according to shop manual, and made sure the spring side of the thermostat was facing firewall.
Can anyone give me some advice?
The Stant t-stats do NOT have a bleed valve, but I've noticed that many other brands do not (including Mr. Gasket which everyone loves)
NOTE: I did pull a code (no SES light on) that said something about the A/C switch output being too high or something. Not sure if this could possibly affect it.
Thanks!
Jason
