Not F*****

Check with your FAMILIAR LOCAL AUTO PARTS STORE. I have seen it used on other auto forums. I guess it could be smart too. Acronyms are huge now with all the texting and stuf like this.

My last two were Duralast and thats probably why I had two, I am getting a new one with my Hughes kit too.

 

Thanks, man... Didn't know if it was some brand you had to order form Summit or something...

Yeah, some people come off in a harsh manner without intending to...but some people really are d*ckfaces...whatever

 

its all good in da hood....j

 

thermostat? i like the kind that works as it should. the brand doesn't matter.


with that said: what brand of wires do you guys like the best? [sm=happybounce.gif]

 

well, i put in a nice new autozone one last march.... it lasted less than a year and quit about a week ago. replaced it with the stant brand. advance had a variety from about $5-10. the $10 stant had a lot more material in it than the $5 one. i think you sort of get what you pay for.

 

What do you expect from a dude who likes volkswagons

 

The factory thermostat is a Siebe/Robertshaw 'standard grade' 195
and it does have a tendency for the bottom brass arms to crack.

I have had one Robertshaw 'High Performance' balanced flow thermostat
fail on me in the closed position.

I have run Stant 205 standard grade
and SuperStat 180s with no failures.

Kenne Bell in house rear wheel dyno tests
show no measureable horsepower or torque gain
when switching from a 195 to a 180 thermostat
on a model year 1998 Magnum 5.9V8

My own experiments on a 1995 Magnum 5.9V8 have indicated
there is no increase in pinging with a 205
or decrease with a 180.

Running without a thermostat at about 140
on 100% water instead of anti-freeze mix
did decrease pinging in hot 95 degree summer weather
on 87 octane gasoline at full throttle
but I don't recommend running that way day to day.

 

what kinda **** is that "what kinda wires do u like" man im just trying to fig out which brand users have had the best of luck with one that works is tru but what works best is another story and thats whaty im trying to figure out smartass......and besides that this a mopar forum not the chevy forum.....j

 

a motor is a motor. are you trying to persecute me because i don't have a dodge? hmm...

thermostats are a 5 dollar piece. we may as well talk about what brand of screws we like best on our hose clamps. pointless. one will not work better than the other, it will work or it wont. buy one, put it in. if its bad, return it and get another, or go to another store. its just like any other 5 dollarproduct you buy. good luck on your conquest for world thermostat domination.
