Taco Overheating?
Hey All,
Had a quick question on my Taco. Lately, she seems like she's been running hot. The temp gauge runs just about 3/4 of the way up the gauge. I replaced the thermostat and it seemed to work for about a week, then it started getting hot again. I bought a thermometer and took a reading of the coolant after she was warm and got a reading of 197F. Does that seem normal or no? Is it possible for a thermostat to go out in a weeks time? Thanks in advance for any ideas.
