Randall and I have tended to agree to disagree on the value of the sleeved
thermostat but prior to installing a sleeved version in my 4A it was
virtually impossible to drive on the Interstate without pegging the
temperature needle. During city driving the 4A would tolerate the standard
unit but sustained Interstate speeds demanded the sleeved unit.
