We'll i just picked up a 170 Degree low temp. thermostat for my 3s. I was wondering if anyone else was using one and how they liked it. I bought the Gates 170 Degree Thermostat, looks like a quality thermostat, hopefully i can put it in tomorrow, but i wanted to post up on here first and see who was using one and how they liked it. not just the 3sgte but the 5s, 7a, any motor.

i'm running no thermostat. won't work on my setup.
170 and up is fine for the 3s depending on where your sensor is. |

There is a reason cars have a thermostat, I've never considered running without one. And I don't consider it an option if the engine is running too hot unless there is no other option. -------------------- -Jay
