Subject: Re: Coolant systems (clean and properly maintained) by jhammons01 on 2009/7/2 14:25:59 ^^Who is to say that the Stat closes exactly at 185°??? No one calibrates those things. I do know that I had a lower temp Stat in there at one time and on cool days (~60°) the temps would drop into the 150s on the freeway.....the overdrive kicks out at exactly 159°. It is an frightening moment when your car, seemingly for no reason, downshifts on you. If you are not expecting it, you may need to clean your trousers. So I am grateful that the stat is doing it's job. And who knows, with my limited I.Q. I may have put a 180° stat in there and forgot. |
