Check and make 100% positive your T stat is what you say it is. Factory is 180.

i drive it hard rarely, especially since it is all stock. i usually let it warm up but sometimes not. i have gotten it off an on over the years last time i changed the thermostat and it went away for a couple of years plus my gauge read low all the time i knew that one was bad. i don't think this one was bad but i changed it just to see. it is a superstat i got from advance i will recheck the temp on it. thanks
