Re: Followup-- 2000 JGC V-8 still overheating
Someone mentioned that the thermostat is supposed to go in 'backwards'
on this engines setup??? If the installer isn't aware of this.....
Inside heat can be deceiving. Most engines have a thermostat bypass so
hot coolant can get to the heater core before the thermostat opens.
