Default Oh man.

Well i went to swap my thermostat for a colder 160 degree one yesterday, and the damn thermostat housing cracked. Gotta get one from the dealer now. It was 26$ wont be here till tuesday. Anyone know why the spring on the stock one is longer than the one on the 160 Degree? I got it from jackson racing......sniper did u have any problems putting your in?

Different manufacturers use different components. Are both thermostats made by the same manufacturer?

get a fan switch that is set up for 160, or else that thermo wont do any good. if the fan doesnt come on at 160, then the open thermo wont do much to cool it. Spoon makes one.

hehehe........I guess you must think all cars look alike also.

For your information, the same company can make several different styles of thermostats and then they sell them to different companies again. They have to vary the look of them so they make very minor changes and sometimes put different company names on them.

Petey, I guess you wouldn't think about things like that.......lol
