I can't say i've noticed coolant temp fluctuation. It is pretty steady. I'm going to be repairing my plenum this coming weekend, and have a new 180 tstat to put it. I'll test it in advance (to see what temp it opens/closes), and then i'll see if it causes the trucks temps to act any differently then the last two thermostats have.

Anyway, back to the topic at hand.

well, after reading all of that i think ill just get the 180 and see how things go. Also padodge how are those electric fans, was thinking of getting a set of those. Should increase horses due to less strain on the engine right, anything better than trying to spin that big heavy fan
