Hey guys,
Just wondering if you have had an issues getting your 3.8's up to temperature.
Mine sits one bar below halfway
It has a new thermostat in it now and I'm thinking maybe the temperature sensor has gone funny, I have tested the thermostat (195f/91c) put it in a cup of water boiled from the jug and it didn't open, but when held in a pot over an element until the temp heats up a bit it opens fine - so does not open early.
The fans don't operate at all times - they only come on after driving for a while and then stopping and staying still with the engine running - so I assume that the sensor that these are running off is operating correctly.
What else could it be other than temp sensor?
