Do you have a thermostatic plate installed? I got the GTM 34 row installed with one a few days ago and now I'm having a hard time getting to 180 with normal driving even when it's fairly hot outside. I remember reading that some of the oil still has to run through the cooler with the plate installed but I'm just wondering if it's time I build a block off plate?
