my van was never overheating.,..it was just running way hotter than normal.
new rad, new gauge in dash.   still ran 3/4 at normal op temp.
now it runs about, or alittle cooler than my other 1.9L.    i still fail to
see why everyone thinks i am going to destroy my engine from running a t-stat
that is 17 degrees cooler than the original one..
