Basically with it plumbed with no valve it just wouldn't come up to operating temp, and then wheni put the valve in place I was seeing over 200* just idling. I'm not sure with the valve closed and the coolant just sitting at the back and not moving was causing the gauge to read weird? But as soon as I opened the valve it'd drop back down to 150ish.
Reason I'm eliminating it now is because I have electric fans, electric water pump and I now only let the truck warm up until the needle starts to move. Once the needle moves I turn the fans and pump on and at that time I'm usually pulling onto the track. I'm also running a gutted thermostat this year.
