Running without a thermostat ok?

yeah, I get it, I'm :banghead:.

Not my fault people don't understand how their radiators work. Although I should probably know better by now than to get worked up about it. Not my car, not my problem.

This is fast becoming my attitude. My truck runs with the temp gauge needle between the first mark next to the "C" and the first mark to the right of it. Just at the beginning of the range. Everything is there the factory installed. No short cuts, no stupidness, although I did install a Mr Gasket high flow 180* thermostat when I flushed the cooling system. It wasn't overheating, I simply wanted a baseline when I bought the truck, so I serviced everything.

"MY" vehicle runs fine. I don't give a crap about much else.
