I would like to understand a 300 Verado cooling system just a bit. Another thread on a pro xs got me thinking about this. As victim to cold seize on my 250 xs some years ago, I tried to educate myself on the cooling system as best as possible. I know the 250xs temperature was somewhat dependant on water temperature at higher speeds since the poppit opens. I noticed my verado also has a thermostat and poppit. The engine does not care what temps the cooling water is. It runs around 143 no matter what the water or outside air temps are. Why?
Thanks for any info
