Hi Loren

I just went thru the same thing a few months ago. Driving on the  
freeway at 65 mph for hours with the heater up all the way and there  
was barely enough heat to keep us warm on a 55+ �F day. The needle was  
way low and dropped near the bottom while descending a long hill. Put  
in a new T-stat and problem solved. I ordered the 87�C which is OEM,  
but many opt for the 80�C for the warmer climate of CA. My temp gauge  
runs just above the LED with the new t-stat. When the old t-stat was  
working properly, the needle settled just below the LED. Now the  
engine is warmed up in about 2 miles and there's tons of heat in the  
cabin. But with the warmer weather to come I am curious as to how it  
will handle the AC or a long hill climb with a full load. Time will  
tell...
