Not sure what the problem could be--I was thinking the pressure cap might not
be operating, but if it is new. . . (Unless, of course, it is oriental). My
1500 has always run cool--cool enough that I have had to go to a 190 thermostat
to keep the temperature in operating range. That is, unless there is a
findable problem somewhere. The system actually works pretty well. Did you
have
the radiator boiled aat the radiator shop out to clean all the crap out of it?
