I'm going to be doing the 05 e-fan upgrade soon, gonna be getting a 34" rad from the Barn, and I want to go with a 160* stat also. What brand of T-stat do you guys recommend, or is there any difference from one to the other? I was thinking of going with SLP for a few reasons...first and foremost I've heard nothing but good things about their equipment, second, they're one of our sponsors >>>>>> and lastly, they're right here in Jersey, and I try to support the local guys whenever possible. Any input would be greatly appreciated

i was told last night by one of the members to pull you factory one apart and place a bb in it to make it a 160* stat. they will prolly comment on it here in a while

yep. if you do a search the info should pop up and it will describe how to do it in detail.
