my 1999 volvo 5.0 runs cold at any speed beyond idle.
I replaced impeller and thermostat and flushed.

do I need to flush more? or is there something else I am missing

Re: volvo 5.0 running cold

You changed the thermostat. What temperature is the engine running at after ten minutes of running? Engines that don't heat up usually have a thermostat that's stuck open. Remove the thermostat, put it in a pan of water on the stove with a thermometer and test it.
