Don't you mean change the t-stat? I hear it's very bad to just remove it...

1985 Chevrolet K5 162,000 miles 305CUI My temperature bounces from just below 210 and 235, sometimes going as high afs 265. This is after the engine has warmed up, is running just fine. Happens at 35MPH, 70MPH, 0MPH (IE speed doesn't seem to affect it.) My thoughts, in order: A: Failing fan clutch B: Failing temp sensor C: Failing t-stat ~TLGM
On an 85 isnt the fan bolted to the waterpump? you could have an airpocket in your system... Temp sensor maybe...T-stat just pull it out and see if you have the same problem....My guess is your stat..... Steve C
