Do you see a problem here?

I tested my thermostat. Thoughts?

Best to capture a thread in thermostat,when it drops or starts to open. Thats the temp. Thermostats are cheap,could just replace it.

When i ran my power wagon in winter i used to use a 205 degree stat.

This is a new mr. Gasket thermostat. I installed it the other day. Drove my car around and it just kept getting hotter and hotter. I'm guessing it's because it didn't open.

The other thing about testing stats in a pan is, yeh, they might open, but are they opening ENOUGH? Been down that road

Ugh, I haven't met a Mr Gasket anything that was well made. If in doubt, ditch it and get a Stant.
