Joel, I recommend you change the thermostat. It should be done, IMHO, every
24 months, anyway, to avoid problems that can occur if it sticks closed.
That is what happened with my '88 GL, and it blew the coolant level out of
the expansion tank three times before it was figured out. Replaced the
thermostat, no more problems. To help with the pressure problem, I replaced
the pressure relief cap as well.

My Syncro has run a little hot (half way between the LED and the HOT zone
even in winter).  But never in the hot zone, ever since I got it a month ago
!  Would you guys recommend changing the thermostat while I have the
distribution unit out?  If yes, what Brand and temp would you recommend?
