Something occurred to me an hour ago before it got down to 21 degrees tonight here in GA. I just bought my HDJ80 from the Canary Islands where the low temps are 56 degrees F. I hydro'd my coolant which I have not flushed yet and sure enough, I am not prepared. I drained a few gallons and replaced it with some concentrate but I am not convinced my thermostat is opening to circulate. The new thermostat (I have not installed yet) says 76-90 degrees. Can anyone tell me what my dash temp gauge is reading when it just starts to come up? Is that the temp the thermostat should open? My temp gauge is plenty high now but when I open the petcock on the radiator to drain, It still feels cool for a minute before going warm.
