I've had no luck running a 180* T stat on my 2001. I've tried 6 different Brands. Make sure you get a 195*. A Stant SuperStat is a good one, they stock them regular at Pep Boys if you got one around.
Why, what was wrong.
Ive had a DuraCrap 180 in my truck for over 2 years.(im horrible at maintance)
For some reason the 2001s have trouble running 180 stats. If you really want one anyway, get a Stant and put some cardboard behind the grille in the wintertime as it helps it to warm up faster. Mine is freezing without blocking the grille. My truck is a 99 though and never had a cel.
