Eh, this is kinda bugging me. The coolant level in my car keeps testing like its full if not overfull according to the little jug (you see how techinical I am)

I tested it when "hot" and when "cold" and both times it was at least at the line if not over.

Any ideas?

Also, even with the stock radiator and the H/C/I it still runs just a little hotter then when it was stock. Of course its not been hot or anything and I plan on getting a new radiator very soon but I doubt its low?

Clean the terminals. The water/anti-freeze in the overflow tank corrodes the terminals over time & it will start giving false readings. Simply clean all the gunk off.

get a 180 thermo while your at it if you haven't already. That will help a bit.
