joe, try replacing the t-stat. It is not that bad to do really. Good time
for a coolant flush too!  I put the stock one it. When you order/purchase
it, be sure to get the o-ring. Don't break the housing.  You should remove
the oil filter to get the housing out. You can get the housing out w/o
removing the exhaust pipe- just takes some patience.

cheers
matthew
