Do a quick search, altiain has posted tons of info regarding thermostats.

cant find anything by him except this post.

Search just the word thermostat there is quite a bit of information. :wink:

Also buy it a new radiator cap while you at it it's cheap insurance.

The original is a 180 degree unit, if that's what you are trying to ask.

Perhaps I didn't make it clear to search for thermostat and not altiain...

Forced induction adds more heat to the process.

But if your not running a blower or turbo the 180 works just fine, plus the computer is set up to read the water temperature as part of the emissions crapola.

A colder thermostat just opens at a lower temp keeping the engine cooler. Some argue that it is good, some argue that it is bad (fuel doesnt atomize like it should at colder temps). I would run a stock thermostat unless you are going to go Forced Induction (turbo or sc) Generally the engineers have done their homework.

You are soooo grounded! No car for a week! :twisted:

my dad actually said that once, well maybe more than once

QUIT KICKING UP MY ISSUES :lol:

sounds to me like your good ol boys at merlin aren't so good. $100 is ridiculous. It's possible it's not that at all. It could be the coolant mixture, didn't you just buy that car? Did you check the radiator level ever? It could have been low from the get go, or too much antifreeze to water can cause you problems. Keep us posted. Denton to Carollton isn't that far, just don't drive that sucker hot.

got it from a tote the note, going to go ahead and drain it and change the thermostat, 20 bucks wont destroy my wallet too bad.
allways got to be safe

I usually go with 40% antifreeze and 60% distilled water.
