No update yet. It's too cold and too wet to do anything on the car except drive it...

| quote | *On a cold start, I hold a hand around the radiator hose on the driver's side {input} so I can feel the coolant temperature
*The Thermostat is 'Closed' as the engine is warming up, and the radiator hose will feel 'cold' too
*When the Thermostat OPENS, I felt the rush of ~190-degree coolant
*At this moment, I read the coolant gauge
My dash coolant gauge showed ~170-degrees so I know that my gauge reads low......

Curious: Did you read the coolant gauge the moment the thermostat opened?
