ANY BUYING/SELLING IN THIS FORUM WILL RESULT IN AN INSTANT BAN!

Read the rules: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=43956

Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

    Thermostat question

    Hey guys im going to order a new thermostat for my car when i do my water pump this spring. Why are thermostats rated to different temps. Ive seen 170f,180f, and 195f. What would the purpose be for having an option?

    Your engine is designed to operate at a certine temperature. A thermostat that opens at a different temperature controls the temperature of which your engine will operate at. You want to keep it stock unless you know what your doing because your engine is heavily modfied. Running your engine cooler isn't good for it.

      Anything lower is pointless, just stick with OEM which is rated around 190 ish IIRC.

        Only get an OEM stat. Every time I buy a thermostat for an import from the parts stores in town, they end up not working or they only last a week. Not sure why.

                i believe NEPA thermostats are good which they offer you in auto zone but it has to be a special order and get the one 195sh.
