I have a stant 180 (35168)...if you buy a different t-stat, make sure it has th by-pass blocker on it (like the stock one)...but this really pertains to trucks in colder climates, out here in Cali guys with the short tstat don't throw cels cuz our weather doesn't get cold enough. i don't think the Jet one has a bypass blocker...I'm thinkin of movin to the 195 cuz I'm runnin a tad rich....

RE: Low Temp T-Stat
The Jet 180 thatI installed inmy Hemi is aBy Pass T-Stats. As you can see in the pics.
The little dog bone or wobbler rod is missing, but after a lot of research, I found that is used for draining or flushing the system. i.e. a bleeder valve or sorts.
I figured if I need to drain the system, I'd just remove the T-Stat.
If you decide to go with a Stant use one that doesn't require trimming or modification. Like the one HansonHVAC has.
My concerns would be if you didn't get all the metalshavings off afteryou modded a T-Stat and contaminated your cooling system. That is one of the reasons I didn't drill a hole in my Jet.
