Message: [QUOTE="TyCorr, post: 1011093, member: 1451"] Yea. Thats stuff is all outside what Im talking about. Hook a 10klb trailer on a truck with each thermostat. Lemme know what you think then. Once that tstat opens, it doesnt matter what one you picked. With a 180 degree you have a fighting chance of keeping oil below 250 degrees when its 95 and humid out. I ran a higher temp tstat and it did exactly what Im saying. The ten minutes longer it took to open accumulates too much heat before the system opens fully. I have argued with people constantly and it flat out is the truth. Ask Joe, ask jake (lincolnlocker) . They both had the same results. I suppose if a truck is going to the grocery store empty, it doesnt matter. On a truck that is gonna be worked in climates that reach above 90° it absolutely matters. Hence the creation of the 180 deg tstat. With a 190 deg tstat my oil still hits 220 degrees when its hot outside. The argument that the 203 is oem doesnt matter either as a truck rated for 230 hp isnt making heat like a tuned 7.3 or god forbid larger hybrids. Im not looking to get in a internet slugfest with ya Tarm I just dont think you're seeing where my point lies. No biggie. I only spoke up because Ive been there, seen it. [/QUOTE]
