Steven, What a coincidence, I just finished putting the 180 t-stat in also!!
One good thing is you don't have to use a gasket. or sealer. It is a little
tight, but not to bad. I also replaced the hose clamp, with a screw type
clamp.
Runs cooler now!!

Ok! Right now I been cussing for the last 1/2 hour about the stupid numb
skull on putting the thermo on the bottom. I am still waiting for the
drainage to finish. It doesn't help on the sway bar being in the way
either.
I put on the Z tube on last night with the Bosh 4 +. John did a great job
on the Z tube. It is a stainless steel pipe that was flange at one end and
bended smoothed in two places. It has a outlet pipe that was welded for the
hose. Looking at the tube I will need to figure out how to fabricate a
shield now or a box for it. I already noticed that it whistle at certain
RPM range and sounds as if you have an Vortech SC running. I lost some
bottom end but I did reflash the computer to reprogram for the tube. I will
find out in the next 50-100 miles if the bottom end doesn't return.
I have the AirRaid kit (2.7K miles) and will be selling it since Jeff Barr
doesn't have a 4.7 to sell at half price with the Autolite plugs for free
(1K miles on plugs) anyone on the list first.
