Default Which 180 T Stat?

What would be the moto rad or Duralast part number for a 180 degree thermostat suited for a 2003 Ram 5.7? Any mods needed to it before installing?

If you live up north, you will need to change your t stat in the winter if you want good heat.

The 180 'stat will do you no good without a whole lot of other mods. Stay with the 203.

To answer your question, no mods are needed to use a 180.

I just got a Mishimoto 180 'stat for my 5.7. Haven't installed it yet. It doesn't get below 40 here ever so i'm not too worried.

Best part was I won the thermostat on one of their Instagram caption contests.
