In a recent discussion with a fellow car restorer we got on the subject
of thermostats. I am of the opinion that thermostats are in a
vehicle for a reason and should not be removed. I have heard from many
old-timers that they prefer removing the thermostat for "better cooling"
and swear that some vehicles overheat with the thermostat in them. I
would like to hear the collective opinions on this subject. As an aside
i have a vehicle now that gets really hot when running at 60mph but will
idle or put around at 35mph all day and not move above the middle of the
temp gauge, any ideas? Also has any body tried that new coolant offered
by George Baxter at Army Jeep Parts I would be interested to hear about
it.
