Im sure someone has a writeup of this, but I wasn't able to find anything with "thermostat" or "180" so I'm posting this here. I just wonder what is the required procedures to do this and what benefits some of you have had with it.

Thanks.

 

Drain radiator
pull thermostat housing
remove old 190* t-stat
install new 180* t-stat
Bolt thermostat housing back together
fill radiator...Done!

 

is there a specific brand or part type that is better than another in terms of quality? that would be one thing i would do once and be done with it.

 

nah just go to advance and pick one up. your gonna have to remove the alternator to get to the tstat housing... plan about an hour of bitchin to get it done.

 

yea basically your engine goes form a 195* thermo to a 180* so you basically cool your engine a lot better

you willl need:
blue RTV sealent
180* thermo
gastet ( i used felpro )

 

I use SUPER STAT from STANT its a good tstat , IMHO

 

I like the t-stats from Napa myself, though I am currently running a Hyperstat from Hypertech.
