Tired of fixing lousy engineering.
In a 99 K1500 Sub. Cannot get engine to go higher than 170. Verified via OBD2 scanner, the upper temp sensor "matches" the dash gauge which reads from the cylinder head. Outside temp as high as 70 degrees.
First tstat was a Motorad 195.
Second is a Delco 195.
Neither was installed upside down. Spring side (bigger side) down toward engine block.
Upper radiator hose won't get more than "fairly warm" and heater doesn't blow quite as hot as my other 1999 Sub does (also a 195 tstat, not sure what brand is in it)
Would a faulty radiator cap prevent it building pressure but NOT barf out coolant?
Truck looses NO coolant. Stays full.
