180 T-Stat

**xerxescct** · 07-05-2009

I plan on doing a full flush and hose change next weekend but one thing I have not done yet is pick up a T-Stat. I was reading some info on if I were to drop in a lower temp T-stat that I would get bad gas mileage or the computer would trip codes.

However I dont like the fact that I can fry an egg on anything under the hood after its been running. Would it be ok to grab a 180?

Thanks!

Yeah it would be fine. It won't hurt a thing. It doesn't change gas mileage at all and it deff. won't throw a code. One thing I noticed about mine was the engine temp didn't really change much with just the t stat. It took me puttin in a dhp pcm to make it stay much cooler cuz the fans came on sooner and stayed on longer. But the t stat is a cheap upgrade and u should do it while ur already in there.

T-Stat won't really do anything unless you have a tune and your fan turn on point turned to 185* vs. stock. You will really only notice the temp change on the highway cruising...but it won't hurt...go ahead and throw her in there.
