My truck had a new Cummins thermostat put in it in September, can't tell you the part number off hand. With it below 40* outside, it's constantly bouncing between about the 150(line above 140 on my 95 gauge) mark and just over 190, and you can feel the difference in heat out the vents. My old 97 would fluctuate from one side of 190 to the other, about 2 needle widths. Any 24valve I've driven seems to hold right on 190 while going down the road, although they cool off quick when sitting.
Anyways, do you think I have a faulty thermostat? I thought I had seen a TSB about this, but I can't remember. Should I try a Napa brand or something else? I can't see the constant swings being good for the motor, always hot/cold. Thanks for any and all help.
