I don't think it will be an issue but since the design is a bit different, I figured I better ask.
That 114F outdoor temp isn't condusive to a cool running truck G,lol.How the hell do you guys live in those temps
Must be a 3.21 geared truck with those rpms at 70mph.
Seriously! I think we are at 102 consecutive days at over 100F* ambient this year. It sucks! But, it'll be amazing weather for the next six months. Eventually... hahaThat 114F outdoor temp isn't condusive to a cool running truck G,lol.How the hell do you guys live in those temps
I actually kicked my ass for swapping out the 3.21's to 3.55's,as my truck spent more time at 80+ mph then it did at 60,and the 3.21's were a way better combo at those speeds in my opinion.Plus with the 3.21's it was good for 155mph(might of had another couple more mph in it,but i chickened out,lol),with the 3.55's about 149 was all it'd do,lol
Difference between a hot rod and a mall crawler. I think I saw triple digits a couple times in 7ish years of ownership of my last truck. Mine felt really fast past a certain point with those big tires haha.
When you live where the roads look like this,finding top end in Mexico is no problem
Ooo... If I still had my street bikes, I'd be in jail for sure.When you live where the roads look like this,finding top end in Mexico is no problem
Thats why i never bought a street bike,i knew it'd either put me in jail or kill me,lol. Growing up on Motocross bikes that had 2 positions to the throttle,"idle" and "Wide Open" ruined me for riding street bikes,as i would of rode them the same way
Doesn't suprise me. The distributor from a 67 318 Dart Swinger will plug right into your late 90s 5.2 or 5.9 magnum. Works best if you get the old style can coil. 4BBL carb manifold from edelbrock (the Magnum has a different head so the old style from the 80s won't bolt up, you need a Magnum specific one) and your good to go. A 650 CFM carb will really wake those things up. Also you'll wanna take your cat out, its going to glow cherry red.
You'll also see your engine coolant temps drop a few degrees as well after installing Caulks bypass valve.
I too rode my street bikes like my dirt bikes. Got REALLY lucky and am still here to talk about it. Don't ride bikes anymore, old bodies don't bounce near as good as young bodies.Thats why i never bought a street bike,i knew it'd either put me in jail or kill me,lol.

We go "splat" more often then we bounce
Good chance you're 180 is a piece of junk.getting a good one these days is almost the same odds as winning the lottery. If you live where there's not really any winter,you can get away with a restrictor instead of a thermostat.

Did you put it in a pot and check function before installing it. If you didn't then pull it out and test it. Makes ZERO sense that the old one would run cooler than the 180, if the 180 was running right. You also need to ensure the fan is coming on at 185 now, or the new thermostat won't be very effective, even if it is working correctly.
It was mid 80's here a couple days ago,i damn near died from sweating,i don't know how you guys handle 110
If you want i'll send you a couple of those thermostats that were junk right out of the box,i have a 160 and 180 that both ran hotter then the stock thermostats right out of the box.Just cause they have one of the better reps,doesn't mean they'll be any good. If you don't have any winter to speak off,spring for 797's thermostat delete kit,bypasses all thermostat issues
