My 4.7 with stock t-stat heated up real quick, say within two miles the
engine was at normal operating temp. Now with the 180 t-stat this thing
takes FOREVER to heat up. I'd say at least 8-10 miles before engine is at
normal operating temp. The scary thing is that it isn't even winter yet. I
bet I will have to let the engine warm up for at least 15 minutes when it
starts to get real cold outside. Good thing for remote start :)
