I was refering to the guy that said thermostats were in cars to let the water have time in the radiator. I don't know how he came to that conclusion but oh well...
I had a Dodge Dakota that I dropped a 1978 360 into. I got these 2 huge ass Aluminum radiators out of some 98? chevy Z71 and had the local radiator shop join them together in front of each other(EG: made it twice as thick. Son now I have a 4" thick 3' wide and 1-1/2' tall aluminum radiator. It was a monster, had to section the front of my frame to let it sit properly. Anyway, I had to get rid of it because it kept the engine TOO COOL! I could watch the temp gauge and when the thermostat would open up. my water temp would drop down around 110 120. Which of course would close the thermostat back up. Then the temp would slowly rise up around 190. Thermostat would open then BOOM back down to 110... If I was going down I-4 ( a large long highway near me) doing a "respectable :O" speed I could actually feel the difference in performance when that cold water hit. I also didn't want to crack my block. ANYWAY enough about my other toy
