<< Robert, be very careful in "ttrusting" your temperature gauge. It is
pretty common for folk to "adjust" how theor temp. gauge reads by placing
a resistor between the sender and the gauge. By changing the resistance,
you can make your gauge appear to run high or low.
Until you have your gauge calibrated, the poor mans way of doing this is
to watch your gauge very carefully as it warms up. When your thermostat
starts to open (at 180 F in your case), the needle will stop moving, >>
Might it be possible that the thermostat is stuck in the open position?
Just a thought.
