I'm not sure I understand the concept behind a 180° thermostat causing a
truck to warm up slower than one with a 195° thermostat. It is my
understanding, that the thermostat stays closed until the stat
temperature is reached, such as 195° or 180°. Would not 180° be warm? I
have a 180° thermostat and can tell no difference in warm up time. Sure,
the needle isn't up quite as high, but it's up just as high as it was
during any other month when it just reached 'warmed up' status. The
heater gets nice and toasty in no time. Now, granted, I do live in North
Georgia, but it still gets pretty cold down here. Was about 19°F out
when I started her up a few days ago. Warmed up fine. Started up fine.
Damn good truck. :)
