I agree, I have a one wire alternator and it doesn't need to charge that often so the voltage hangs around 12.8-13 volts most of the time. Not ideal for headlights or fans. I took it out last night and it stayed at 175-180 until I got to crusising around the 25mph streets and then it was only 195-205 when I parked it. With a 666hp big block in over 100 degrees heat, I'm happy with it. It's healthier for the engine anyway. It's about the only time I can get any oil temp in this thing on the street. Still had oil temps of 180 or so. When it's cool out I play hell getting any heat in this thing even with a 180 stat.
