I know someone mentioned using a cooking thermometer to check the temp.

So to check the temp, would inserting the thermometer into the coolant resevoir when the temp gauge is at L or past L work ?

Also, if I decide to just install an aftermarket water/temp gauge, were is the best location to install one ?

btw:
Thanks for your input Figols.
It's definitely appreciated when people have issues that don't seem to clear up when you would think they would with all the things changed/checked.
