Subject:Thanks for cooling system info

Thanks to all who took the time to respond to my questions during my recent work on
the cooling system of my '88 Westy. It is all back together, working fine and no
leaks. Drained and flushed (and flushed and flushed).
I refilled it with Zerex G05. Replaced the T-stat, temp II and I sensors, exp. tank
and cap, some small hoses. etc.
Before this work, the temp gauge was reading high, but the fan was working as it
should and I have no reason to believe it was overheating. The temp gauge is now
lower, but still about a needle width above the LED. I am thinking it is the voltage
reg on the foil under the instrument pod. I have read how to test it, but how hard is
it to replace it?
Is it soldered on?
Thanks again,
Jerry
