Well, I managed to prove all the naysayers wrong (none of whom are on
the DML). Everyone not on the DML who I talked to about putting the 180
t-stat in said it would kill my gas mileage.
Thanksgiving weekend '99 - End of March '00 - 12.79 MPG
T-stat install (weekend before Thanksgiving '00) through end of March
'01 - 12.786 MPG
This year I had 100+ pounds MORE sand in the bed, and in January got the
BFGs which caused my calculated mileage to drop, as my odometer and
speedometer read 4.316030267125w. The mods I added between the 2 timeframes
(intake, fan, TB, tonneau) certainly helped though.
