YOU CANNOT JUST PUT IN A LOWER DEGREE THERMOSTAT AND HAVE IT WORK! YOU NEED TO TUNE YOUR CAR SO THE FANS TURN ON AT A LOWER TEMPERATURE AS WELL!

Nope. If I knew that, I wouldn't have done it. I was following the first "Step 6" in bluegtp91's thread where it says to do that as a "maintenance" item.

I saved the 195* t-stat. Looks like I will drop that back in and save the 180* until I can get a tune. That thread really should be changed...


So what will happen if I drive the car 10 miles in the morning (mostly highway) and 10 miles in the late afternoon before swapping it back for the original? Or do I need to make a point of doing it before that?
