My advice to you is to not get the HYPERTECH stat.

I hear the jet or slp ones actually work

 

No need for aftmkt fans

Can you elaborate a little more on your knowledge of the issues with the Hypertech? I am on the verge of ordering one.

Mine and several others run @ 190-200 degrees with the hypertech 160

But there are some other people that say their truck runs in the 170-75 ish

range as it should with a 160

So which stats 'work' then, and where can I get them?

Be careful on temperature readings if you are relying on the stock guage on the dash. GM guages aren't always real accurate, and may not fully reflect a t-stat change. A scanner reading would be more reliable. Just my $.02 :uhoh:

And I now just realized we never answered this gentleman's question about whether or not he needs to reprogram something after installing the new, 160* thermostat.  I'd be interested in the answer as well.

 

 

If you have efans, you'll want to reprogram to turn on/off at the right temperature. If you have the stock fans, there is nothing to program. There might be an SES light, but I never got one.
