Havnt done anyhing yet. Still gets a lil warm and then whoosh-cools down. Still think it may be faulty tstat. Sticking then finally opening. Hmmmm.

 

Have you tried the factory stat # 83501426?

 

Not yet. Gonna get one this week. Is there proper/improper orientation for the themostat to install. I know which side goes into the block (spring side) but which way rotational (like a dial, clock face). Thought i read somewhere that they needed to be spun a certain way? Is that only if they have that little bleeder on them ? Spun to 12 o clock?

 

I had the same problem change your brand of thermostats your using

 

Its ok so do I.

Picked up this thread because I run really cool also. way below the half-way mark close to the mark right before it always. its cold here also 45-50 degrees out. replaced almost everything in my cooling system in the past yr so im going to watch this thread.

SUBSCRIBED!!

 

if theres a little small hole in it put that up

 

Yep. The factory one has a hole with a BB in it and instructions to mount the hole at 12 o'clock.

 

Roger that

 

I don't- it's colder where I live,---------I think your t-stat is stuck open, swap it out for real one from the dealer.(195).

 

Totally differant monster there.

 

You don't need cardboard.

 

Which side of the stat is the BB located....head side or rad side?

 

Head side.

 

....so it bleeds when the motor is not running?

 

I don't know!!! All I know is I've used 3 Stant Super-stats and my rigs ran cool and took forever to warm up. Put a factory stat in with the jiggle valve/BB thing and it works perfectly.
