Jay, It took a week before I got the first CEL to come?? Not sure why, may
have had something to do with the weather being colder. Since then I have
been blocking part of the radiator off to allow the engine to heat up
slightly more. So far so good, has been a week since doing this, and no CEL.

<< Hey Matt,
I just put in the 180 therm (Robert shaw Gen2) Sunday in my 4.7L. So far no
problems, but I'll keep an eye on it. It does seem to take a little longer
to get to full temp (180) than stock, but this could be due to our recent
colder weather. How long does it take before your check engine light comes
on?
