just changed thermo plz help!
i just changed out the thermostat on my 4.0 and everything went pretty smooth. i got new sensors as well as a new thermostat. problem is the temp guage keeps going up. it used to idle around 176 and now its getting near 200 and going up just idling. i used new coolant, distilled water and 50/50 mix. im not leaking coolant either. could i have put in too much coolant?

Ok well everything is running perfectly fine from the looks of things, but i had one question. I looked at my stock thermo that i changed out, and it had the same marking on it as the new one, it showed engraved in the metal 92-106 degrees celcius. that translates to 197.5-225 or so. why is it that my truck was running 20 degrees cooler on this thermo versus the new, without there being any cooling issues.

i had no fan at all for over a year. never had any problems before, now all of a sudden it is over heating.
the reason people go with electric fans is to reduce the load on the engine, less spinning weight and less power lost to turning it. helps with power and fuel economy. although i only put it on cause my mechanical fan broke

Best reason ever is colder AC at a stop.
Over heating on the highway is a capacity issue. Meaning you don't have enough cooling capacity. I suggest a full flush and leak check.
