    170 does seem too cool. I can hold my hand on the rad hoses, and I shouldn’t be able to do that to the hot side. That side should be hot enough I have to pull my hand away after a few moments, but it just doesn’t get that hot. I’m going to replace the thermostat again. Maybe I got a bad one. But yeah there’s definitely no valve that I can find.

    What engine? A DT466? Try a 195 degree thermostat.

    Get one close to that, but not below 190

    Unless someone added them those do not have valves on the engine. Not sure about an inline valve before the heater core but it may have one.

    Learned something new everyday, every DT466 I have been around has had at least 1 water shut off valve.
