Hi Guys
The 6.2 in my Caprice "seems" to run real cool, only just getting of the bottom mark of the temp gauge. The only time it gets higher is on the way home from work when I drive up a steep hill at low speed (the roads are narrow) but then it only just touches the first marker. Once I get to the top it drops back just under where it always sits.
I havent checked to see if it has a stat yet but I dont want to run it if its going to hurt it. But I'm guessing its been like this for a while.
The only reason I'm asking is that the only time the engine smokes is under a heavy load but when the temp gauge goes up to the frist marker it seems to stop as if is only smoking due to being cold.
When its first started in the morning theres no smoke at all really and its real good on diesel so am I just worrying to much.
Thanks Craig
