Well, that's just a little childish!
And I still don't understand the disagreement. You said the t-stat's job is: "to REGULATE the temperature of the coolant." Others have said that once the coolant temp soars up to 210, there is no regulation happening at all. Both of you are correct!
In the OP's case, I would normally say his cooling system isn't up to the task, but we know it worked OK with another t-stat. And since there were NO other changes, the only conclusions we can draw is the new t-stat is NOT fully opening, or the coolant level is very low.
Let's see, what else?
Is ambient temperature the same before and after the t-stat change?
Was the coolant temp sender or gauge changed?
Any changes to the radiator fan or shroud?
To the OP: When you find the problem, please get back to us.
And to the rest of you: If you don't agree with me, Im gonna take my ball and go home!
