    Stopped at the parts store that I got the first stat from to get another one. I figured what the heck, third time's the charm right? I inspected it before I bought it, and it had a nick out of it and didn't seal at all around the whole ring. The other 5 (All Stant) they had in stock were all the same. I passed and went to a Parts Master store and looked at theirs which is a MotoRad, and it sealed perfectly around the whole ring. I'll install it in the morning and see what happens.

    Well I checked the new one on the stove before I installed it and it opened at about 200. Put it in the car and it's still doing the same damn thing. Anyone got any other ideas?

    Is the coolant level in the LIM up to snuff or is it low. Might be not taking coolant, which won't give you a good temp reading/fluctuating
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.

    Coolant level is good. Had the intake gaskets replaced today and radiator and heater core flushed. Still having the same issue. Checked the temps with a lazer thermometer today as well, the guage and scanner temp are within a couple degrees, so I know that's accurate. Gonna try a new radiator cap tomorrow.

    Well the new cap did nothing. I thought maybe the fans were coming on somehow while I was driving when they shouldn't so I unplugged the fan relay and that made no difference either. Help!!! This is driving me crazy

    Ok.. so the pcm and gauge both say it's running cool?

    You did put the rubber gasket on the new t stat right?
