MFTS Install and/or Thermostat 91 200 TQM 10V

[Hayes Myers]

Hmmmm.  I'm not sure...will keep an eye on that for sure. I ordered t-stat
anyway and will put it in when it arrives.  I will pay attention though...
seems to put out much more heat at low speeds with the gauge in the correct
range vs on hwy with gauge showing super cold.... it seems the oil-temp
readings work/stop in tandem with the coolant temp gauge readings.  Well.
Soon enough things should be good.

My heat system is messed as it is... only puts out through the upper window
vents (defrost)...but it is putting something out.  I will be fixing that as
soon as I take care of the other stuff.


Good tymes.

Sounds to me like you need a thermostat more than a MFTS.

How is your heat when the gauge reads very low at speed?
