[QUOTE="toyman, post: 760057, member: 10841"] You need to confirm the gauge reading. It's possible that the rad is severely plugged to the point that flushing doesn't do the job. Remember it's probably 16 years old. Is the top rad hose hot? It should be if the engine is running hot. Running without a T-stat isn't likely to be an issue in the summer but you definitely don't want to do that in the winter if the rad is working properly. It's not entirely clear about the T-stat. Have you already removed it or are you thinking about removing it? [/QUOTE]
