Parts guy lists both a 160 and a 180 degree thermostat for my rig. Will installing the 160 adversely effect anything? Hope somebody can answer this for me . . .   Jim H.

The engine and ECU are made to run at that temp.   Jim H.

I picked up an 88C OEM thermostat from BAP for $7.00 (dealer wanted $30). Gauge has had a mind of it's own lately, will run cool one day, hot the next, hope the T-stat is the problem so I can get 1 more year before rodding/coring. Jim
