truck thermostat same as f-body?
I was just wondering if there is any difference in the thermostat or the housing between the trucks and the f-bodys. Also what is the factory t-stat temp? I was thinking it was 195 is that correct?
Thanks.
Thanks.

If you get a thermo, make sure you get the 160º since the 180º won't make much difference.

whoops. Sorry about the wrong info.
Thanks for clarifying mzoomora.
