Car runs cold ( AT NIGHT) should i be worried?
I live in Arizona so the heat can be pretty unforgiving; so i only run a water additive (something similar to water wetter) and distilled water.
during the day my temperature gauge stays just a bit below half (which is great).
but ever since ive purchased and installed my new shroud my temperature gauge is between 1/4th and zero (when i have the heater core open).
is this a problem or should i not be worried much?
i dont think its the thermostat since it operates fine during normal weather but... i guess ill take your inputs.

sounds good! and yea i remove my cluster all the time but thats not the issue ( i ran my car with out a shroud for the summer and it was running warm all the time) now that i have a shroud plus the additive its super cold.
ill try removing it and running a normal coolant/distilled water setup instead!
thanks all

My 92 SC400 has always run at the second mark shown in your first photo for 21 years, never deviating under any circumstance. I guess is that you have something wrong and worth fixing.
