My car comes stock with a 180 thermostat and I was wondering if a 195 would be ok to put in it? I've heard that in colder weather you want a warmer stat. Is that true? [img]graemlins/twak.gif[/img]

if it comes with the 180, then thats means 180 is good enough. and what are you talking about, it doesnt get THAT cold in texas

I know if it says 180 then its ok but my question was will a 195 hurt me at all?? And by the colder weather comment I wasn't talkin about below 0 I was just simply saying colder weather, as in winter.1999 Black T-Top Firebird A4<br />W68 and Y87 GT Packages, K&N Air Filter, Ram Air, Whisper Lid, Raised Airbox, SLP Exhaust, Comp Cam, Black Tailight Covers, Black Powdercoated Wheels, Painted Calipers and Side Vents

Going to a 195 should not hurt the engine, however keep in mind that aside from the first 5 minutes or so after startup, the engine is going to run at 195 or higher.
I live in PA and replaced my stock 195 with a 180. No way I was going with a 160 though with winters up here. ;)1994 Firebird 3.4<br />15.65 @ 86.8<br /><a href=\"http://www.funkz.net/firebird.htm\" target=\"_blank\">funkz.net/firebird</a><br /><a href=\"http://mywebpages.comcast.net/funkz/timeslips.htm\" target=\"_blank\">Timeslips</a>

Birdman, did you pull it to see what was in it? Or are you using the modification encyclopedia/database? This site is wrong on alot of that it seems. You likely had the 195* t-stat in there stock. If you have the 180* by some chance stock, keep it in there. Midland's climate will be fine with the 180*, it just takes a minute or so longer in the morning for the heater to work well in the winter.<a href=\"http://www.fullthrottlev6.com\" target=\"_blank\">www.fullthrottlev6.com</a> THE SOURCE!
