THERMOSTATS 160 OR 180??????
 
IS ANYONE RUNNING A 160 DEGREE THERMOSTAT?

I'm guessing you're looking more for the Lightning guys but......I'm running one too. Have the fans programmed to come on early too. She stays a little cooler.

I have a 170* t-stat that came from JDM, but also have an e-fan and Cobra R water pump.

You can always datalog to make sure the truck is going into closed loop.

I have a 160 in mine, but the fans don't come on until ~178. With your fan running all the time the truck might not get hot enough to go into closed loop. I'd say give it a try, and hook a scanner up to the truck and give it a test. You are probably going to be fine during the summer, but you might need to recheck it during the winter.

THATS WHAT IM THINKING AND I WILL SWITCH TO ELECTRIC. BUT I DOUBT IT IS GOING TO RUN AT 160 OR EVEN 170....I THINK MY 180 RUNS AT 195 OR SO, WHEN I HAD IT HOOKED UP
