    So I have a PCM installed that is setup for a 180 degree t stat. I don't have it in yet( Still stock t stat) and am not gonna be able to get to it till this weekend? Well i guess what i want to know is it really bad to be running a PCM programed for a 180 t stat bu still running a stock one?

    Yeah, it is not a problem if you are only doing it for a couple days. But your fans are going to be running almost constantly. While not really a big deal for short term, it can wear out the fans quicker and cause unnecessary drain on your alternator. And the more amps you are pulling, the less MPG you get.
