Poor rockauto Stant thermostat!!!!! They put the wrong temperature thermostat in the right box of Sidekick Sport!! Never again.
I bring the old thermostat to several local auto wrecking shops. They have many from Toyota and Korean vehicles. I pick up three from the Korean ones that look similar with 82C. I will test them with boiling water to find which one still work!
those rockauto J18 themostat are good, it is you that is seriously confused. for a fact.
your problem is not knowning how reverse flow cooling works and how to diagnose it, your temp readings are now correct. but you fail to know facts.
