Hi just to throw my two bobs worth in i have a set of the cooler thermostats in my truck here in Australia (thanks for that Kat !) i live in tropical Queensland and my main reason for fitting was to keep the under bonnet temp down cooler air into the engine ! I have worked for the CAT dealers in Australia for years and asked the question years ago why do CAT engines need to run so hot well the answer I got was because of the sulfur in the fuel was the reason causing engine component wear valve guides especially every body here in Oz with a turbo ford six (petrol) runs cooler thermostats for the reason of cooler air temp into the engine more power Also the purpose of the thermostat is to REGULATE temperature and create a restriction in the block to allow the coolant to absorb heat to be carried to the radiator
thanks guys

oi, notice any thermal 'tradeoffs' with these mate? I just ordered a set and will be running them on my hardest day this friday. Just wanted to see if anyone has additional input on running these on the street heavy hauling/towing.

I have more of these in stock if anyone is interested

Mine are still sitting in my kitchen lol

Mine have been in since January. It's been pretty cold but my truck stays much cooler. I also noticed my oil pressure stays higher than usual, colder oil?

Sorry Guys

 

[schulte]

Do you still have any of these thermostats?

Do you still have any of these thermostats?

I think I have a set left. But, I won't be in the office until Monday. I'm having surgery on my foot again tomorrow.

I will let you know.

 

[MadMaxx61]

Good luck on the surgery Kat.

any follow ups from the guys that daily drive/tow with these thermostats?

They work great for me. Coolant stays in the mid 160s then up to ~175 towing. Oil Pressure stays pretty high too.

 

[hondarider552]

I see 165-170*. Gained ~8-10psi of oil pressure everywhere which tells me it's staying cooler.

Any issues running these in the winter and not getting up to temp? Seems like they would be great for the summer
