My temperature hand is just barly rising above the 130deg mark and the heat will not blow hot just luke warm! do yall think my tstat is stuck open or something else? I do not smell coolant and it is full in the radiator. thanks in advance

 

t-stat is stuck open or missing.
replace with a Stant Super-Stat for about $10-12. get a 180 or 195, not a 160.

some people get a check engine with a 180. some don't.

 

Dhvaughn is right, but I'd use a mopar stat for $15

 

thanks guys! I just put that one on about 4 months ago it was a 195* fail safe. I will pick one up this weekend and change it.

 

fail safe's suck.

 

Why is that? I just bought my first fail safe today. If they are not any good, I'll return it.

 

they fail too often.
sometimes they fail open like they are supposed to. (except way too soon).
other times they fail closed, exactly like they are not supposed to.

search on fail safe's... look at all the problems. not worth the trouble and money in my opinion. a good $10-12 Stant will last forever.

 

yuppersonal experience with fail safe, was bad. will never buy another..

 

Fail Safe is endorsed by Sam Memmolo, the biggest endorsement ***** ever.
If he endorses it - don't go near it.
If he DOESN'T endorse it - its probably ok. or at least its not snake oil.

Another vote for Stant here. Been using their 180 in my truck for over a year now, no problems.
