Is my RV running too hot?

As I've said before there ain't no reason for that engine to go over 15º whatever thermostat is placed in your engine.... I personally run a 180º T-stat from "Stewart" water pumps along with his stage one pump (cast iron) and with that combo the heating problems ceased. Jim

Don`t know what to tell ya, ya hear so many different things, you`d think a GM machanic would have the answer.
