I dunno, it seems to me that fooling your truck into constantly thinking it is still warming up, and compensating rich, is a pretty imprecise way of managing A/F ratios.

 

Living in Buffalo, I don't know if I'd go to a 180*, least wise not in the winter months. Ihave read a few posts of guys generating CEL's because of a 180* t-stat in REAL cold weather. With it being basically a 10 minute swap, you may want to consider a summer/winter switch. Maybe a tech. will chime in on this one.

 

That's a good point ... I have heard that it can affect the heat but I haven't heard anything about CELs. It is a quick swap though ... hmmmm I dunno.

 

Yea, I read quite a few posts about the heater not beingfor sh_t in the cold with the stat. But I think I read a post or two last winter where some guys up north were generating CEL's and the swap back to stock stopped it. I think somebody wrote where if the engine doesn't get up to a certain temp after running a certain amount of time a CEL is generated.
Like I said, you might want to consider the seasonal swap, or get better than this shade-tree mechanic's opinion.

 

As I remember it, you were drinkin beer and laughing at me when I said I wasn't gonna drop a bolt and then of course dropped a bolt.

 

i hate dropping bolts!! you can never find i then you find it in the hardest possible spot to get it out of.... pappy do you and hammer live close together or suttin?

 

I just bought the Jet stat from Jeg's.com. You were right about local stores. I even called specialty shops and they said they would have to order it online. What good are they? I can order anything online. I want to get sh#t off the shelf. Oh, like that programmer fiasco. I ordered the DiabloSport, almost 4 weeks ago. The shop I ordered it through said 2 days. I thought that was weird, due to the fact that I saw a release date of 9/17. That's when Mike's info reached me. So, I'm waiting for the Predator.THIS IS BULLSH#T!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I have the predator and it is a sweet programmer.

 

Curse you, jimmydaleo. [sm=badbadbad.gif]How dare you rub my nose in it, like that? Just kidding, bro. Where/who did you buy it from?

 

Easy there, Robbie, he's got a CTD, it's been available for the Cummins for some time.
