Doing that will not help a bit-what's wrong? Is it getting to the point of overheating.

Subject: thermostat
no nothings wrong I just plan on getting a chip for my truck and it requires a lower temp but I may drive without the chip for a while

Back during my youngen days-what I do is use a 10K ohms resistor to fool the computer by hooking it up to the coolant temperature sensor connector.
