Thermostat

[jag1886]

I have one of those electric fans coming and I'm going to add a 180 thermostat. I see the so called performance stats are very expensive anyone know how's thermostat is in that remarked box.
I'm guessing those performance stat companies aren't really building there own.

What's a performance Tstat? Sounds like blinker fluid...

Duralast 180* tstat item number 4128 is all you need. Basically everything else is just reboxed.

Do you mean 191 Jay?

The low fan temp? What about the high?

Why do people give a crap answers to a simple honest questions.
You know a performance stat that would be the ones they are charging $40 for. I'm guessing those are some other brand you can by somewhere for $10-15.
I have read that some of those cheap parts store ones don't open when they are advertised to.

The Motorad/CST/JET 180 stat runs about 185*. For a daily driver that is perfect. If you are serious about running your truck at the track, I would take it a step further and run a 170* stat which will run about 175*.

I run a 180* in my daily driver, and 170* in the shop truck.

I have a JET 180* stat in my center console...been there for about 8 months. Is it worth putting in? I was told it was a bad idea for driving in cold conditions so I never installed it. Probably a stupid question but everywhere I go I find mixed opinions about them.

Any thermostat that costs more than about $10-$15 is a waste of money. Get the duralast part. Opens at about 185 (or a 170). DOnt waste on a Jet

You will probably throw a engine light when it's cold out. Mine does.
I ran mine again this winter when it got down into the 20s and never had any problems.

Yes I know 20s aint that cold to you Canadians, but it's miserable down here. lol

We saw the -20s this past winter, not so sure installing it would be worth the gains haha.

Honestly I really don't know if it's goin to help in really cold weather. You'r trucks going to heat up to the 200*+ with the stock but damn if it's -20. It might run a little cooler than stock.

I got a Motorad from Rock auto for $14. I sure looks just like a Jet.
