Ron's SS Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 Also is a 160 thermastat to low for the truck? thanks <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yeah in Ohio, the 160 would be to low I would think. especially winters?!? I also read somewhere that it reduced mileage by acouple MPG... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll run hotter than the * of your thermostat cause it only starts to open at 160*. Unlike the stock one which is what? 185*? Anyway, the thermostat starts to open at 160 and is fully opened by around 180-185 which is where your degrees should stick. If it was stock it starts opening at 185 and is fully opened by around... 200+. At least that's how I understood it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BmanSS Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 Does it seem to run better? How's it feel? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> around 3000 it seems to come on ,I should have done a dyno run first ,before the install.shifting is crisp .The 1.-2 is a little hard for round town driving .I will have to do something about that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
