Got ran of the icy road by a snowplow coming up the hill. I couldn't do much because he was in the middle of the road. Downshifted and slowly braked but couldn't help but swing around 180degrees into the snow bank. Would of got a picture or two but I was up to my windows in snow. Had to pay $20 to get pulled out.

Drove it, got awesome gas mileage & cranking over sound because it was 10 degrees still.

YEESH, it needs to warm up so I can stop driving it in front wheel drive, and install new headlights! Hopefully tuesday...

Are you verifying this with a digital infrared temp gun? Maybe the gauge you are using is not working. Are you running HD fan clutch? How long are you letting it run for?

Verified with my calibrated thermometer I use for refrigeration and heating at work.

Stock good fan clutch, Efan disconnected, let it run for a half hour, drove it, wheeled it, never warmed up.

Looked up the parts I'm gonna need to put the engine back together and had a heart attack lol but it needs to be done and its going to last longer than me once it's finished so it's worth it
