Do all our thermostats come as an assembly?
I was going to put a 180 degree in there when I changed my water pump yesterday but the damm thing was $27.00 bucks from Napa. I know Napa is kind of a rip off as far as prices go but dammm, these things cost maybe $15.00 bucks max anywhere else.
I guess its all one peice, the t-stat is part of the housing?? Is this just BS?

 

its all one piece. the housing and therm. are made together. a 160 thermo costs almost 50 bucks.

 

What a rip, it cost the manufacturer about $4.00 bucks to make one!
I guess I'm going to have to bit the bullet on this one.

 

check this out. turns the regular unit into a 180* or 160* I forget. Pretty sure its a 180*

BB Mod how to.

Do you know anyone who has actually done this mod? If so what kind of temps were they running before and after the mod?
I still have my stocker so I'll check it out and see if mine is the same.
Thanks!

 

I remember someone posting another thermostat mod and found this.

And also the whole thread with the bb mod.

why dont you pm big tex and ask him?

 

i have it done to mine and the temps are down from stock but not as cool as a true 160 stat would be. from 210 to about 180ish is what i am seeing.

 

my 160 only ran me like 17 bucks.

 

I have an 05', and the thermostat is like a regular thermostat. It comes out as 1 piece, and thunderracing sells the thing for like 20 something bucks.
