How does it stop?

 

I customized the passenger seat with a dark stain of coffee.

 

Installed Hughes Plenum plate, 180* stat, new distributor cap and rotor. Hoping to do plugs and wires next week, and muffler next month. We will see....

 

Again, why the 180 stat?

 

Dont worry, the horn is loud

 

It seemed like a good idea to change the stat while the plate was being changed. Reading thru the forums, I thought it was a good idea( or atleast an option) to go with a 180* stat if I planned on getting the SCT tuner. I havn't gotten the tuner yet, figured I would replace the muffler first, and possibly the cat.(definately the muffler). I guess I am just confused. Whatever, I am just happy the plenum issue is taken care of, and hopefully took care of the misfire problem. The stat is the least of my worries, I will switch it out when I have time.
I had a thread asking for advice, after tons of reading, just to be sure I got what I needed to change the plate. I bought all new bolts, Fel-pro gaskets...and appreciate the helpful advice. Thanks to all for all the help..it is much appreciated.

 

Ordered a brake adjuster repair kit new shoes and drums for the rear. and added a yellow smelly tree to my rear view. I also got a new sprocket for my bike. Its gonna be a good weekend...

 

Why not?

 

Well for one thing, you'll get worse gas mileage. And without doing a lot of other mods, all it does it help with pinging, when those mods are performed.

 

The gas mileage will be slightly worse, but I may also get more power(slight) out of it...doubtful, but logical. I thought the tuner would straighten out the fuel dump, by adjusting the pcm..but like I said, if it turns out to be a problem..it isn't a big deal to fix, and I'm sure I'm not the only guy to try a 180* stat...heck, I may have even read about it using the Search button...LOL, I couldn't resist.
I got a good deal on this truck, even with the issues, and my payments are low enough to play with it a bit. With the family and all, I don't have a never-ending budget, but I can indulge here and there. I am hoping to get the tuner soon.
