Well I did my IMRC delete with MMR plates, burped the cooling system, and now it runs warmer than it did. instead of dead even it runs on the "M" of NORMAL written on the gauge. it will fluctuate from one side of the "M" to the other but not any hotter ...and mind you it even ran that high in 20 degree winter weather last night.

one thing i think might be a touch off is that the coolant in the reservoir is high but the how to write up insists not to open the reservoir cap up once you fill it above the full line before you start burping the system.

when i check the coolant level it's dead full at the cross over...

think i should burp the system again and hope for different/better results?

...side note, it did not run this warm when i got it and that was with the reservoir being low

thanks for any thoughts or suggestions

I have to burp mine 4-5 times after I open the coolant system. I think all you have to do is keep burping for a while.

First thing that popped in my head is you need to burp some more. It took me a few good times to get it right.
