the two stage 180s wont throw a code.... in theory the gas will burn better in a hotter environment, so dropping your temp down by 35 degrees may not give you a clean burn.... also if you live in the north you should stick with stock, maybe 180....
Whats a two stage 180s ??? Droping temp down 35 degrees ??? factory tstat is 195 , im lost here. here in pa i run 180 so far no problems .

the 35' was referring to the 160f
I'll google a pic of a two stage, on my iPhone so I'll do it tom when I'm on a CPU.

Here's a Jet 180* for a 5.2/5.9, it won't throw a code, is stainess and has a lifetime warranty for under $15.

I have a Jet in my Hemi, but for the Hemi is costs twice as much...[:@]
