My toyota pick-up runs cooler with the failsafe thermostat stuck open. Doesn't mean it applies to your vehicle. If it had a brand new 500 dollar radiator, it would probably stay cool all the time with no thermostat or with a thermostat like mine stuck open.

it barely gets over the first two lines 130 or so and it doesn't really boil over it just rushes out.. its a brand new radiator cap.. no more than 50 miles on it.. and i put the stat housing back on without a new gasket b/c it looked pretty good still but i ended up taking it all back off and using the rtv sealant... Its suppose to be an easy job. but if yoiu guys have a vortech supercharger then the mounting brackets are like half an inch infront of the stat housing and pretty cramped right there.. And i have yet to start the car back up b.c the sealant said to wait 24 hours to fully cure.. and GOD knows I don't wanna take that thing off YET AGAIN.. Oh and wen I had the stat housing off which is new to, i got it wen i got the radiator cap. it has like white little bubbles or something in it.. looks nasty or something you would see like on a coral reef or something. ?? any ideas what that could be?? maybe I just need to flush my whole coolant?
