160 degree vs 170 degree thermostat

The install is very easy. I didn't drain the fluid at all, just used a hose clamp. Install only takes 30 mins.

I was able to drain the coolant just by using a CLEAN 5 gallon bucket and piece of rubber hose connected to the petcock. It took about 15 minutes for the fluid to drain out. I also had a towel over the belts just incase I ended up having any residual. Overall it took about 45 minutes to complete. Actually, the longest part was removing and reinstalling the belly pan!

we typically drain from the radiator just enough to pull the thermostat out and swap, pretty painless switch

we have both available with free shipping code

Doing it my way took literally less than 10 minutes. I would wager close to 5 minutes.

I actually didn't even think of doing it that way. Plus, I didn't have a hose clamp. Think I might go get one now just for future use.

I'll probably try the hose clamp method and see how big of a mess I can make as per usual.

My buddy did mine and took him about 30 minutes total which includes clean-up, filling up the coolant and checking the system for leaks.

I ordered my 170 from Lethal along with a JLT catch can . Couldn't resist a good sale and it's getting warm in Texas

I'm excited to see what this thing will do with the new manifold and flex fuel. Should be a sweet combo when aligned with some cooler temps.

Could have sworn I read a post by a vendor somewhere a while back recommending that you not run a cooler stat burning corn.....

I hope I didn't goof up as I ordered the 170 and I have a flex fuel tune
