I wanna see the result s from the 160 degree version (a whooping 18 percent
difference in temperature drop).

So, let me get this straight. No one has noticed any change in HP, mileage,
or emmisions when changing to a 180 deg thermostat. Our Dakota's don't come
with a 180 stat. So why bother changing over to the 180? I'm doing a
complete service the last week of this month on my Dak, and don't see the
benefit of spending $10 on something that has no effect on my truck. Could
someone explain this to me please?
