not liking the stock stat
letting the car do what it wants with the stock thermo in i just dont like it once its reaches strait up position on the guage it stays there or moves to the right especially at highway speeds. at which point i have to flip the # 14 switch. with the 180 it would at least return to the "n" at times and without thermo completely i felt like i could actually control temps so ive got to say its my radiator even though ita a newer aluminium rad.. its just not able to keep the temps down with out fan interaction be it manually or other
now my w/p is fairly new but i read somewhere the aftermarket pumps from advance and such have less impeller action is this true ? weak flow could likely factor in as well i figure especially at 60/70/80 speeds.....
