Great job nice to see you had fun @ the drag strip. 15.5 seconds is damn good for a 5400 pound truck.

the link to my original thread on the subject. I have 4k miles on this mod with no negative effects. Also haven't experience the power robbing heat soak that 225 degrees brings.

Here is some info on under hood engine temps before and after the thermostat install from my other thread as well.

UPDATE: Installed 180 Degree Thermostat and ran the same test scenario. The overall engine compartment temps changed more than I expected. Changes in Bold

Exh. Manifold. 396 degrees // 390 degrees
Engine firewall 216 degrees // 198 degrees
Driver Head. 198 degrees // 187 degrees
Engine Cover.139 degrees // 119 degrees
PCM. 127 degrees // 115 degrees
fuse box 122 degrees // 112 degrees
Volant tube. 116 degrees // 103 degrees
Hypertech unit. 108 degrees // 97 degrees
Volant Air filter. 96 degrees // 94 degrees


Again these are averages over 2 days with one day (2) degrees warmer and the second day was (4) degrees cooler. Vehicle was fully warmed up, driven the same route for the same amount of time and 185 degrees at shut down compared to 204 previously.

Id love to take my 14 Limited V6 to the track. Just for sh*ts and giggles and see how it performs with the 8 speed trans.
