Default 2008 Ram 1500- 180 Degree Stat upgrade
HI guy,


I may have a bad stat and need to replace it. I was think about going toa 180 degree stat vs. the factory one. My question is will doing this throw a check engine light and will I need to reprogram the ECU?

If you live up north, it will affect the temperature of the heat. No going to see much performance gain.

my understanding...

a 160 is needed and a reprogrammer to see any performance gains.

If you want the engine to run cooler, and still keep good heat. Try Royal Purple's, Purple Ice.
