 Subject: Moving.. need advice...

Message:
I'm moving to Bozeman, Montana next month. I'm about to flush my cooling system and was wondering if it would be a good idea to install a 180deg thermostat while i've got the cooling system opened... for as cold as it gets there in Montana. Not sure, may leave in the 195deg.
Do any of you who live in cold areas run 180 deg thermos??? How will it affect heater operability when driving in sub zero?
Thanks in advance,
Dan

Moving to Bozeman, Huh? must be for a job?? The 180 in the 4.7 will be fine in Montana. I noticed that the Robertshaw runs cooler than the Stant T stat. so if I were you install the Stant T stat# (65358) this is the high quality one from them. But for Montana I would leave the clutch fan on...I use the Stant 180 in both my 4.7 Dakotas. and I get alot of heat...from the heater so no worry there. Good luck on your move.I haven't been in Montana in like 11 Yrs. I am in Washington State. Also for winter in Montana,use the 5w-30 Wt oil, than in summer switch to 10w-30 wt.
