I notice that ThunderRacing only has the 160 Thermy for 93-97. Will this work on my 98?

that stuff is disgusting... you haven't seen anything until your water pump goes bad and it SPRAYS all over your engine bay and eventually runs out into your garage and down your driveway. [img]graemlins/thumbsdown.gif[/img]
I might have to do this for my poor NW car that is still trying to adjust to the heat and it may as well be done when I flush out my coolant system.1994 Camaro 3.4L M5 R.I.P.<br />You know what they say- a small engine means big... errr... e/t\'s<br /><a href=\"http://www.pbase.com/rrj72/the_accident\" target=\"_blank\">www.pbase.com/rrj72/the_accident</a><p>replaced with: red 97 A4 vert (my brothers as soon as i find my REAL replacement)<p>soon to come: 1969 RS/SS<p>\"All you need are the esentials: scented candles, massage oil, and Berry White write that down.\" -Van WilderComment

I got a question regarding 160 degree thermos... Aside from the heat not being real warm in the winter (I'm in Massachusetts) are there any problems having a 160 degree thermo when it's cold out? I'm assuming I'd need to let the car warm up for a few minutes (I do that anyway during the winter) .. Anything else?Comment

I ran my 160 for half of the winter last year, and I ended up swapping back in the stock 195 becuase I couldn't take it anymore. Our winter weather should be pretty much identical.
With the heater on full blast, I got luke warm air at best, and it took forever to get warm enough for even that.
And letting the car warm up doesn't help if you do any highway driving at all, because once you get that ice-cold air running across the radiator for a little while you're temp will drop right back down.
Do the 160, but plan on swapping it back in late October. [img]smile.gif[/img]Comment

This past winter was actually kind of warm. It didn't get below freezing much at all. I guess I can try a 160 and see what happens. Having a 160 degree thermo won't make the fan run constantly or anything like that?
