any they any down sides to running a 160 tstat




sorry cant spell to good

 

no there isnt any down sides as far as i know.

 

at what temp does gm go to close loop(efi) operation?

 

below 160. i have been running mine for a while with no probs.

 

thanks for the help i heard the 160 causes you to use more gas and the truck runs richer but i guess i heard wrong

 

If it ran in open loop it would. There isn't any affect on mileage with our trucks, 160-stock wise.

 

cool well the im going to get the 160 in my truck

 

Just as long as you don't drive in cold winter weather, but your in texas so unless hell freezes it won't be cold in texas.

 

I used to swap 160 for summer, stock for winter. There cheap and its easy as hell to do the bb mod which technically equals the 160. Now that I will be in a warmer climate year round I will just leave it in.

 

whats up folks,,,,,,,,,just a note on running a 160 t stat,,,,,,it will open sooner (160 as opposed to 195-200) but it will not stay at that temp,,,the engine still creates enough heat to keep warm for lack of better terminology,,,example,,,my truck used to run at 205-210 stock,,after the 160 t stat,,,it runs at 185,,and i live in southern cali,,occasionally it will creep up to 190-195 with the air conditioner blasting,,so if your worried about open/closed loop,,dont,,,theres still plenty of temp left,,have a great day guys
