After completing a 2200 mile round trip up to Indiana (half of it pulling a 5x8 U-Haul trailer with 2500# of granite slabs) I can see that my thermostat has been stuck open for quite some time. I sure paid the fuel mileage penalty ARGHHHH!
Torque app says about 188*F temp in cruise. Unlocked cluster test #7 shows about 84*C in around town with OAT of ~35*C.
Well thankfully it was not stuck closed! And I just changed it maybe 15K miles ago when I did all the hoses, belts and tensioners. I'm getting a Behr thermostat unit this time 
Sure hate to be in those 210*F temps but the open loop fuel economy sucks!

Just received a Wahler thermostat to replace the OEM that has been locked open for the past year. Expansion tank had a pin hole leak that dropped the coolant level enough to stick the thermostat open, but didn't get a chance to change it out. Hope to do this tomorrow.
Last week changed out the rear driver side window regulator (second time) and door actuator.
Tomorrow, need to remove the driver side head light and reconnect the adjustment plate so the high beam and low beams are aiming tin the same direction again.
