John,
Right out of the FSM. I recommend a 160? version. That way straight water

Re: [WT] F134 Cooling Circuit
Well, the thermostat was indeed installed upside down. I corrected

Re: [WT] F134 Cooling Circuit
John,
While you have it out drill an 1/8" hole in the flange to allow air to

Re: [WT] F134 Cooling Circuit
At this time, the prime suspect is a failed or mis-installed thermostat.The heater hose getting hot demonstrates that the water pump is functioning, and that coolant is circulating.
