Great news! Sounds like you're now having the same experience as I am with temperature.

I've heard, but don't know, that it makes a difference having the thermostat in place beyond what you'd expect the thermostat to do. As, I'd expect having NO thermostat to make the engine run as cool as possible at all times. It seems to not be the case, and I'm not sure why that is.

Maybe that's just urban legend. But I know my car ran cooler after installing my thermostat.
