[QUOTE="kevinhomuth, post: 460529, member: 25255"] Update: Over heating solved, found water pump gasket seal torn and also discovered Napa brand thermostat which I installed had .285” less throw and .110” smaller diameter than the OEM thermostat. So aftermarket part was choking off a lot of flow. I have since learned there are 2 aftermarket thermostats that the socal dealers are using when they can’t get the oem one from their suppliers which is the Gates and Doreman products.
