[QUOTE="Catmonkey, post: 15612002, member: 124025"] If you're seeing 140* temps on 90* days, then I think you probably have a problem somewhere. There are a lot of reasons that you could see a bigger disparity on cooler days. There's a lot of heat under that hood and hot coolant is being circulated through the manifold. What are your coolant temps with the lower thermostat? A few things to check would be to make sure the pump is running, that you can see coolant circulating through the degass tank and there are no kinks in the coolant hoses. An abundance of bugs in the heat exchanger can also affect its efficiency. You could go straight water, but you need to be diligent in adding antifreeze when it gets cooler. The intercooler can burst in the intake manifold if the water freezes. The intake is a bitch to remove and the only way to replace an intercooler. [/QUOTE]
